0.5 cupsuperfine sugar
2teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.5 teaspoonground cardamom
0.5 teaspoonground ginger
0.75 teaspoonground allspice
3cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1cupbutter, softened
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for some delicious cooking ahead!
Combine sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, allspice, and salt in a bowl. Split mixture in half. Set one portion aside. Mix flour and butter into the other half until slightly grainy.
Evenly press the dough into an 8-inch square pan. Using a knife, cut the dough into 1x2 inch pieces and prick with a fork. This prevents warping during baking. Sprinkle the reserved sugar and spice generously over the top, ensuring it covers all cuts and holes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven until the edges turn firm and golden. Avoid browning. Let it cool completely in the pan, then break into pieces along the lines for serving.
