Spice Sugar Cookies

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.

My husband and I enjoyed the cookies a lot, which is more than I can say for all the other cookie cutter recipes we've tried. My son, however, didn't like them, and I think it must have been the cloves. I'm going to try next time with just cinnamon. We also did not put them in the fridge, and it worked perfectly. Great recipe! five stars

These are fantastic. I make them every holiday (valentines, St. Patrick's, Christmas.) They are the best cookies!!! I have discovered that icing that is no the liquid side is the best. You can do better desihns that way :) five stars

This recipe was great! My 3 and 5 year old made it and we didn't even put the dough in the fridge, like it suggests, they just cut out their shapes, they baked up perfectly and taste delicious! Will definitely make again!! five stars

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. five stars
