Ingredients

• Brown Sugar and Spice Cookies
• 3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp allspice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (I use sugar that I've stored vanilla beans in)
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 sticks salted butter, cut into chunks
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Brown Sugar and Spice Cookies


Preheat oven to 350.

Whisk the flour, baking powder and spices, set aside.

Cream the sugars and butter. Add the egg and extracts and mix until well-blended.

Gradually add the flour mixture and beat just until combined, scraping down the bowl, especially the bottom. (The dough will be quite thick...you may need to knead in stray bits of flour from the bottom of the bowl by hand.)
