Cream together 1 stick of butter and 3/4 cup white granulated or brown sugar in a large bowl
Add two eggs
In another bowl, mix 3 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cloves
Add flour gradually to sugar mixture to form dough
HINT: Recipe said to "add a little water" if dough seemed too dry.......how much is "a little"? I simply wet my hands and worked it a few times and no more dryness.
Roll out 1/4 inch thick
Cut with a 3-inch cutter
Bake 350 degrees 12-15 minutes (watch carefully, mine were done in 10!)
I think I would ice these next time. Maybe use less nutmeg. Perfect with the hot beverage of your choice, or a cold glass of milk.
Decisions, decisions
Edited it add another way to enjoy them
A dixie size cup (may not need to use all of it) resulted in this ice cream sandwich

Hmmm...they look like the perfect autumn cookie. I am still taking German lessons , but have no idea how to tell you that I don't speak German. Let's see...maybe, Ich spreche nicht Deutsch.
ReplyDeleteSpice cookies do scream fall! I'm always interested in German recipes and these sound good, love the wet hands tip:@)
ReplyDeleteThey look & sound so good...even if I can't pronounce the name! Perfect on a chilly night like tonight with a cup of tea. Glad you shared the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThey look so yummy! I've always wondered about that "add a little water" myself. :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous fall cookie - lovely recipe!

Would you reside with me here and serve your cookies an meals, must be rally nice life(*^▽^*)
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Cookies look delicious Barb! I need to bake something soon. It throws my calorie counting off but it is worth it. It's almost 5:30 am and I'm awake blogging from my IPhone here in bed. Sinuses are draining badly. I just popped another red sinus pill hoping to dry up this congestion. Well at least I can visit with my blog friends.
ReplyDeleteI love this type of cookie - SO GOOD with a cup of coffee!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Lisa
I think these would be delightful with tea! Love the ruffled cutter shape and your dishes are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese remind me of what we used to call Santa Claus (or as the Dutch would say, Sinterklaus) cookies. Yum! And I see you have a Keurig - how do you like it? It looks like they have oodles of flavors for both coffee and tea. Hope your week is going well!
ReplyDeleteYummy, Barbara, and perfect with coffee or tea! Thanks for the hint about the nutmeg. 2 t. is a lot, but I do love spicy!!
ReplyDeleteOooh! These look yummy...my mouth is watering just a little bit. LOL!! I'm going to give these a try! :)
ReplyDeleteThey look so good. Just perfect for this time of year. I'm your newest follower through GFC.
ReplyDeleteSpice cookies are absolutely AWESOME with a maple glaze. ummmmm. gotta make these soon.
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful!!! I can almost smell them. . .
ReplyDeleteOhhh I would love a couple of those cookies with the Pumpkin Spice coffee please!! I can imagine that they do smell like fall!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I'm sure your house smelled divine while these baked. They sound delish! Would love them with some hot coffee...and yes, which coffee? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!

Barb, I would enjoy these cookies. Might cut back on the nutmeg just a wee bit. We have the Keurig at our office, and the company pays for it and the coffee. We have a zillion flavors! May I ask where got the holder to display the coffee?
ReplyDeleteThey look so delicious, Barbara! I like a spice filled cookie like these this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a name...I would fumble with that cookie name.
ReplyDeleteThey Are so cute too!
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to greet fall with your awesome Spice Cookies. I can't wait to make these we will just love them. Hope you are having a great day and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I'll bet these make the house smell wonderful while they bake! I love a simple, not over sweet cookie with coffee or tea. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteJa ein wenig! Hope I got that right. Perfect cookies for the cool fall temps I'm so happy about. The recipe looks great and the cookies are almost to pretty to eat! I would love to pull up a chair and share a cup of any of those flavored coffees. Great photos, I think I'll go make cookies.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteI love cookies, and the more different, the better. I am sure I would like these. Like the Kinkade dishes too.
ReplyDeleteBTW- I did eat the free ice cream!
Oh, hey! did you know there are Thomas Kinkade novels? Writes with someone, but books are set in his wonderful paintings. Not a bad read.
