Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the bottom of a glass or your palm, gently flatten each ball slightly until they are about 1/3 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to maintain a tender texture.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, lightly dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Serve your spiced tea cookies with a hot cup of tea or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
