Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Imperial Sugar Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
