Instructions

For the Cookies:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prep cookie sheets with parchment or a Sil-pat. Set aside.

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices, and stir into the creamed mixture until dough comes together. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and place them on the cookie sheet 2- inches apart. Gently press the dough balls with your finger tips just slightly.

For the Frosting:

  1. Cream together the butter and brown sugar on high until smooth, creamy, and airy. Add the powdered sugar- a little at a time and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until whipped and creamy.
  2. Use an off-set spatula or spoon to frost the cooled cookies. Sprinkle with spices.
