Ingredients
-
1 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups butter
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Preparation
-
Combine sugar and milk in a bowl.
Stir until smooth.
In another bowl, sift the dry ingredients and blend in the butter until the mixture is like cornmeal.
Add the sugar and milk mixture and the almonds.
Mix well.
Wrap in foil, or wax paper and refrigerate overnight.
Roll out the dough pretty thin.
Use Christmas cookie cutters (or a windmill or other shaped cookie cutter if it isn't Christmas).
Dust the cutter well with flour to be sure it doesn't stick.
Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 10- 12 minutes.
Remove and cool.
