Spiced Sugar Cookie Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 sticks butter

  1 cup, softened
• 1 ½ cups brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

• 1 In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light
  and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla; mix to combine.
• 2 In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, salt,
  cloves, and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until
  a smooth cookie dough forms.
• 3 Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and roll to a 1/4-inch thickness.
  Cut out desired shapes and set them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue
  rerolling dough as needed. If you are scoring the cookies, as I've done in this
  post, use a sharp paring knife to create decorations or lines before chilling
  the unbaked cookies.
• 4 Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator to chill as the oven preheats.
• 5 Preheat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment.
• 6 Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until light brown around the edges. Cool on a
  metal rack.
