Speculaas

1 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c butter, unsalted, room temp.
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/8 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ginger
2 c flour (approximately)

Cream brown sugar and butter. Add egg and remaining ingredients. Be sure to add flour in small amounts at a time. You may not need all 2 cups. Chill for 2 hours. You can either roll the dough out and use cookie cutters, or, just roll little balls and flatten them with the palm of your hand. I prefer the latter, it takes less time. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cool 1 min on pan and finish on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
Makes 40 - 1 inch cookies...depending on if you use cookie cutters and their sizes.

Number of Servings: 40
