Ingredients
•
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
1 pinch ground cloves
•
1/2 cup softened butter
•
1 cup packed brown sugar
•
1 egg
•
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1
Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a bowl.
2
Cream butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth; beat egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Add the flour mixture in small amounts to the butter mixture, beating each addition until blended. Form the dough into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
4
Roll the dough out on a floured work surface with a rolling pin to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2-inch cookie cutters. Arrange the cut cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
