These spice cookies are not my grandmother's recipe, but they're my friend Sarah's grandmother's recipe. They're quick to bake and taste great. I like to make them around Halloween for pumpkin-carving parties.
Ingredients
Makes 0 servings
- 2 cups sifted flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 1 tablespoon soy milk, cream or half-and-half
- ¼ teaspoon ground clove
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup shortening
- 1 egg, or egg replacer for one egg, or 1/4 c. applesauce
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
Mix and sift dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a mixer or large bowl, cream shortening and sugar, then add egg, vanilla and cream and beat until well-mixed. Stir in dry ingredients and add enough additional flour (about 1/4
cup) to make a fairly stiff dough. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Roll dough 1 inch thick and cut with your favorite cookie cutters. Bake on a
greased cookie sheet 5-10 minutes at 375F.
