COOK TIME

1. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees and prep an 11" x 17" baking sheet with parchment paper, butter, or baking spray.

Instructions

2. In a medium sized mixing bowl combine together your flour, spices, and salt. Stir or whisk to combine, ensuring there are no clumps of spices in the flour.

Instructions

3. Place the butter in the bowl of your mixer and cream on low with your paddle attachment. Add both the white and brown sugar to the butter, then cream together.

Instructions

4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then add the flour mixture. The dough will take on crumbly texture that won't hold together well.

Instructions

5. Scrape the sides again, add in the cream and mix just enough to incorporate. The results should be a heavy dough that is holds it's shape and is easy to work with.

Instructions

6. *Roll the dough out onto your work space and shape into a square or rectangle. Set the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, then dust the top of the dough with extra flour. **Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it's about 1/4" thick.

Instructions

7. Cut your cookies into shapes using a chef's knife, cookie cutter, or glass.

Instructions

8. Place all the cookies onto your prepared cookie sheet and use a fork to poke holes in the top of each cookie to allow for venting.

Instructions

9. Place them on the middle rack of a preheated oven for 14 - 16 minutes. They are done when the bottoms and sides start to turn golden brown.

Instructions

10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking pan for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
