2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger, ground
1/8 tsp nutmeg, ground
1/8 tsp cloves, ground
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Mix until evenly incorporated.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the bowl of wet ingredients, and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and shape the dough into two logs about 3 inches wide. Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Using a serrated knife, gently slice the logs diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces. Return to the baking sheet, and sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar (1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon).
- Bake for 5-7 minutes. Flip the pieces over, sprinkle the other side with cinnamon and sugar and bake for another 5-7 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
