Spiced Brown Sugar Cookies

Another lazy Sunday, lots of tv, food, movies, and, yes, also some baking !! I was wanting to make some macaroons and keep my promise about Biscuits and Macaroons... but there was no almondmeal in the pantry and as a first attempt for the blog it didnt sound fair to look up a Nutfree Macaroon recipe (althought I found a couple that Im sure Im gonna have to try at some point or another....)
But anyway, Tommy (the boyfriend) said he wanted something with ginger, and I wasnt too sure about gingerbread cookies so I decided to make an attempt of a Speculoos cookie recipe that I found on Matzo and Rice blog. 

This is a take con the belgian classics, a tad spicier but you can play around with the flavors to find the perfect balance for any palate. If you've tried belgian speculoos cookies but cant buy them where you are... you can try these and thank me later...If you've never had these, what are you waiting for ? Start getting your stuff out. Theyre really easy to make, and ever easier to enjoy. Try them out ! You wont regret it. 

Recipe
Yield 4 dozen small cookies.


Ingredients:
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
    •  
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger

  • 1/4 tsp. ground allspice

  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

  • 1 tsp.  vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl mix together flour, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves), baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large separate bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer, low speed. Add the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually blend the flour mixture into the butter mixture until it is well combined.
  5. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch-thickness. From here, you can either bake it as a large sheet of cookie to cut later, or, you can use cookie cutters to make cookie shapes.
  6. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  7. If you choose to bake it as a large sheet, bake for 20-25 minutes. Cut out cookies to shape as desired.
  8. If you choose to bake it as shapes, place dough shapes onto parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  9. Cook on cooling rack before serving. These are best once they have cooled.
