Yield Makes about 60

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup whole milk, plus more if needed
1/4 teaspoon kirsch or other cherry-flavored liqueur, optional
Coarsely ground pink peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon luster dust, preferably metallic
1/4 teaspoon kirsch

Steps:

  • Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and spices. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, brown sugar, and molasses on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture; beat until just combined. Pinch off a heaping teaspoon of dough, roll into a ball, and place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining dough, spacing balls 1 1/2 inches apart. (Dough can be frozen at this point, covered tightly with plastic wrap, up to 1 month.)
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are golden and firm to the touch with slight cracking, about 15 minutes. Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Glaze: Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack. In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk, and kirsch, if desired. Using a fork, dip each cookie in glaze to coat. Tap to remove excess glaze and place on wire rack to dry. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  • To decorate: While the glaze is still wet, top cookies with a small pinch of peppercorns, if desired. Alternatively, let glaze dry completely before mixing together luster dust and kirsch with a small paintbrush. Lightly brush tops of cookies with luster dust mixture, if desired. Let dry before serving. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

GRAMMY'S SPICE COOKIES



Grammy's Spice Cookies image

This recipe for spice cookies came to The Times from Claire Will of San Francisco after a callout for favorite holiday recipes. At first, it seemed rather plain Jane, but the hefty dose of ground cloves (3/4 teaspoon) was what lured me into testing it, and I have to admit I was skeptical. I was soon a believer. Of the five kinds of cookies I served to a group at a holiday party, those crisp-edged, soft-centered beauties were the first to vanish. One friend texted on his way home, "send recipe for spice cookies a.s.a.p."

Provided by Melissa Clark

Time 1h

Yield About 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk, more as needed
1 to 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey, optional

Yield Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening, room temperature
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
Sugar

Steps:

  • Combine first 6 ingredients in medium bowl; whisk to blend. Mix in crystallized ginger. Using electric mixer, beat brown sugar, shortening and butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add egg and molasses and beat until blended. Add flour mixture and mix just until blended. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter 2 baking sheets. Spoon sugar in thick layer onto small plate. Using wet hands, form dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; roll in sugar to coat completely. Place balls on prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

Time 2h

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Place the butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla. Beat until just combined.
  • Whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin spice mix, the baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining half of the dry ingredients until a thick dough comes together. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the granulated sugar with the remaining 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix in a small bowl.
  • Shape the cookie dough using a heaping tablespoon and roll between your palms to form a round ball. Repeat until all the dough is rolled into balls. Place the balls into the spiced sugar and toss until completely coated. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Use your palms or the tines of a fork to press the cookies into thick disks.
  • Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh spices, real butter, and pure vanilla extract to create flavorful cookies. - Chill the dough before baking: This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, resulting in thicker, chewier cookies. - Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. - Bake the cookies at the right temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended temperature and baking time to ensure the cookies are cooked through without burning. - Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This helps the cookies set and prevents them from becoming too soft.
