Spiced Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• 0.5 cups butter
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups premium flour
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp ground ginger
• 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp ground cloves
• 1/8 tsp salt

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
2. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until a stiff dough forms. For easier handling, refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out to a thickness of 0.5 cm and cut out shapes.
3. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Decorate the cookies with icing and sprinkles.
