Cookies

  1. In a large bowl combine your flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice and nutmeg. Mix until combined and set aside.

  3. Slowly add your flour mixture into your butter mixture while mixing on medium low speed. Beat until all the flour is completely and evenly combined into the dough. Set aside.
