Ingredients
0 servings
3 cupall-purpose flour
unbleached
2 teaspoonbaking powder
½ teaspooncinnamon
¼ teaspoonginger
⅛ teaspoonnutmeg
freshly grated, if possible
⅛ teaspoonallspice
½ cupgranulated sugar
I use sugar that I've stored vanilla beans in
½ cuplight brown sugar
packed
1 cupsalted butter
cut into chunks
1egg
1 teaspoonpure vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350. Whisk the flour, baking powder and spices, set aside. Cream the sugar 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.)
Step 2
Roll on a floured surface and cut into shapes. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 9-12 minutes, depending on the size of your cutter. Let sit a few minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Step 3
For the sparkly accents, mix a small amount of meringue powder with water. With a child's paintbrush, paint the area you would like to be sparkle-d (that's a word, right?).
Step 4
Then, shake on sanding sugar all over the cookie. Turn the cookie upside down and shake off the excess. (I do this over a basket coffee filter and use that to funnel the extra back into the container.)
