How to Make British Spice Biscuits Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 225g all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, ¼ tsp ground cloves (or 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice), and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 115g softened unsalted butter and 100g granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add 1 tsp cold water if needed to bring the dough together.
  5. Form the dough into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ½ cm (¼ inch) thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
  7. Prick the tops of the biscuits lightly with a fork.
  8. Transfer the biscuits to parchment-lined baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cool, optionally sandwich two biscuits together with your favorite jam and drizzle with a light icing or glaze.
