Spiced Almond Wafers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup sliced blanched almond

Preparation

Line 2 mini loaf pans with plastic wrap.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed for 4 minutes.
Reduce speed to low. Add eggs and spices. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions.
Press cookie dough into pans, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for 1 1/2 hours (or up to 1 month).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove dough from 1 pan. Let soften slightly. Cut eight 1/8-inch-thick slices with a sharp knife.
Cover remaining dough, and freeze in pan until ready to slice and bake.
Place slices 1 1/2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat.
Top each with 2 to 3 almond slices. Freeze until firm, 5 minutes.
Bake until dark golden brown, 10 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack. Repeat.
