Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cu cold butter ( 115 grams , 4 oz, 1 stick , 8 tablespoons), cut into pieces
- 1/2 cups brown sugar – (297 grams, 10.5 oz)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground clove
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (245 grams, 8.7 oz)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until creamy. This should take about a minute or two on medium-high speed.
- Add in the egg, ginger powder, cinnamon powder, clove powder and salt. Mix till everything is combined well and looks creamy in texture.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour in batches until combined. The dough will be little hard and it should hold the shape.
- Roll the dough into a thickness of 1/4″-1/3″ using a rolling pin. Cut out cookies using a cookie cutter.
- Line your baking tray with parchment paper and place your cut cookies. Bake for 10 minutes. Once baked, remove and let it cool. As they cools the cookies will harden a bit.
