Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 lb
1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground nutmeg

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Instructions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves in a medium mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg until well combined.
Beat in the flour mixture gradually until just combined.
Cut the dough in half and form each half into a disc.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour after wrapping in plastic wrap.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
Roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place on a baking sheet that has been prepared.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
