📝 Preparation Steps

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy in a large bowl using a hand or a stand mixer, about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes.

Mix in egg yolk, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract until smooth.

(226g) unsalted butter, softened1 cuplarge egg yolk1(248g) all-purpose flour2 cupsvanilla extract1 teaspoon

Whisk ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, and black pepper into the flour, then mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until dough forms.

(226g) unsalted butter, softened1 cupground cinnamon1 teaspoon(248g) all-purpose flour2 cups

Divide dough into two sections. Roll each into a log that is about 6-7-inches long and approximately 1 ½-inches in diameter. (You can make these any size, larger or smaller, if you prefer.)

Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and chill at least ⏱️ 2 hours before slicing, or up to overnight. Tip: Place the logs standing up in drinking glasses so they stay circular.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Slice cookies desired thickness, no more than ¼-inches. Place on cookies sheets covered with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Bake for ⏱️ 16-18 minutes, or until they’re light golden around the edges and no longer glossy.

You may want to check part way through baking to see if you need to rotate your pans in your oven, even if you normally don’t. These are delicate cookies and may brown in different areas quicker or slower.

Cool on cookie sheets then store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
