Author: Angel Hickman Peterson

Ingredients

1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter , cut up
1 cup of all purpose flour
1/4 cup of packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix the dry ingredients together. In a food processor add the dry ingredients and cut-up cubes of butter to it and give it several pulses till it resembles a crumbly mixture.
Take it out of the food processor onto a floured surface and knead it into a dough. Shape it into it into roughly 8 inch circle, about 1/4 inch in thickness. Take a knife and cut into wedges. Poke holes on the surface using a fork. Crimp the edges if you wish. Chill it in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Arrange on the prepped cookie sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes till the edges turn golden brown. Take it out and using a knife cut the wedges while it is still warm. Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack before serving
