Instructions

Spiced Brown Sugar Cookies

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the brown sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, beating just until combined. The dough will be a bit crumbly.
  4. Pour the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Press it into a flat disc and wrap it with remaining plastic wrap. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters.
  7. Place the cut cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. Transfer the baking sheets to the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
  8. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool for a 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Assembly

  1. Place the milk chocolate melting wafers in a small microwave safe bowl.
  2. Heat the chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.
  3. Dip half of each cookie into the chocolate. Gently tap off the excess and place on a piece of wax paper to set.
  4. Let the chocolate set for 15 minutes before serving.
