Spiced Holiday Biscuits have a soft, chewy, and moist center with a sweet, crunchy crust. Loaded with familiar holiday spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice, these treats pack a flavour punch unlike any other Christmas confection! The excess dusting of sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the warm heat of the cookie.

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
1 cup confectioner's sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Set aside.
Beat together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and salt. Mix into the butter mixture.
Add the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and allspice. Mix until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Use a small cookie scoop, about 1 tablespoon in size, to scoop the cookie batter into even portions. Roll into balls and roll into the confectioner's sugar until well coated.
Place the dough on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately transfer to a wire cooling rack to completely cool. Liberally dust the tops of the cookies with more confectioner’s sugar.
