Method

  1. Cream together softened butter and sugar (or honey).
  2. Beat in the egg until smooth.
  3. Whisk flour, baking powder, spices and salt, then fold into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
  4. Roll out, cut into shapes and place on a lined baking tray.
  5. Bake until just set and lightly golden, then cool on a rack.

Notes

Weigh ingredients if you can. Cups are chaos; scales are repeatable.

Oven temps lie. If your bakes run hot or pale, adjust by 10–15°C and note it for next time.
