Dutch Windmill Cookies
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
1
Combine dry ingredients, including flour, spices, baking powder, and salt, in a medium-sized bowl.
2
In a large mixing container, use an electric mixer to blend butter and sugar until they become light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg into the mixture, ensuring it is well combined.
3
Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the mixing container and incorporate by hand. Add the remaining flour and almonds, then continue to mix using a wooden spoon or knead with your hands.
4
Divide the dough into four equal portions and cover them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for an extended period, ideally several hours or overnight. If using a mold, chill it as well.
5
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and grease two baking trays.
6
Remove one quarter of the dough from the refrigerator and shape it into a flat disk using your hands. Lightly oil the mold and dust it with flour before pressing the dough firmly into the shape. Remove any excess dough from the mold using a knife.
7
Transfer the cookies to the greased baking trays, leaving about one inch of space between each cookie. Refrigerate any excess dough for later use.
8
Lightly dust the cookie mold with flour, but do not re-oil it. Repeat the process for the remaining dough.
9
Once both cookie trays are full, bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges. Store the cookies in a covered container.
