3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons water
324 g milled soft white wheat berries

Steps:

Beat butter, sugar, molasses, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the water.
Mix on low speed until the water is combined, then add the flour.
Mix in the flour just until incorporated and there are no dry bits. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl again, if necessary.
Wrap the dough in plastic and place in the fridge for two hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Once chilled, lightly dust a surface with flour and roll cookie dough to about ¼" thick.
Cut your desired shape and place on parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes for ¼" thick cookies.
Allow cookies to cool and decorate with piping glaze.
