2 cups sifted flour, less if possible
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cream
extra granulated sugar, for decorating
Blend 1 cup flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Cream butter, beat in sugar. Beat in egg, vanilla, and cream. Stir in flour, then add enough of the remaining 1 cup flour to make the dough stiff enough to roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill several hours. Preheat oven to 375F. Place on a lightly floured cutting board and roll to 1/8" thickness. Use floured cookie cutters to cut into shapes. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake 8 minutes.

Great cookie and easy to make. But don't forget the vanilla extract. It wasn't listed in the recipe above, so I guessed and used 1 teaspoon.

We made these in the shape to Christmas trees and my son decorated them. They are much more interesting than regular sugar cookies which I don't like. The spices gave them a nice flavor and a lovely spicy smell.

These cookies were excellent tasting, but a little crumbly. 4 cutouts!
