Time 55m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 1/4 ounces light brown candi sugar, such as Brewer's Best, or deeply toasted sugar (about 2/3 cup, firmly packed; 150g)
3 ounces unsalted butter, soft but cool, about 70°F (6 tablespoons; 85g)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda (4.75g)
3/4 teaspoon ceylon cinnamon (1.5g)
1/2 teaspoon kinako (roasted soybean flour; 1g), such as Shirakiku, optional
1/4 teaspoon ground or freshly grated nutmeg (0.25g)
Shy 1/8 teaspoon (0.35g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume or use the same weight
Shy 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (0.15g)
1/16 teaspoon ground cardamom (0.10g)
1/16 teaspoon ground anise (0.10g)
1/2 ounce tap water (about 1 tablespoon; 15g)
5 1/2 ounces ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups; 155g)

Steps:

  • While creaming on medium speed, slowly splash in the water a little at a time. Once it disappears into the fluffy butter/sugar mix, reduce speed to low and add the flour all at once. Continue mixing until the dough begins to gather around the paddle.
  • Turn the dough onto a clean surface, and knead gently to form a ball. Pat into a rectangular shape, then dust with flour, above and below. Roll to a thickness of 3/16-inch, using a ruler for guidance. Slide an offset spatula beneath the dough to loosen, and brush away the excess flour.
  • With a fluted pastry wheel, cut the dough into 3/4-inch strips, then cut crossways to form 2-inch rectangles. With the offset spatula, transfer the cutouts and scraps to a parchment-lined half sheet pan, leaving an inch between each piece to account for spread.
  • Bake until cookies are golden brown, about 16 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through if needed to ensure even browning. Cool to room temperature directly on the baking sheet; the cookies will not crisp until fully cool. Enjoy with coffee, and store leftovers in an airtight container up to 1 month at room temperature; the scraps can be ground to use for crumbs and frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Time 47m

Yield 50 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup room temperature butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves), baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on low speed. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually blend the flour mixture into the butter mixture until it is well combined.
  • Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. From here, you can either bake it as a large sheet of cookies to cut later, or, you can use cookie cutters to make cookie shapes.
  • If you choose to bake it as a large sheet, bake for 20-25 minutes. Cut out cookies to shape as desired.
  • If you choose to bake it as shapes, place dough shapes onto parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Cool on cooling rack before serving. These are best once they have cooled.
