Ingredients
- 225 g | 2 1/8 cups light brown sugar
- 130 g | 1 stick + 1 tbsp softened unsalted butter
- 1 medium egg lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp honey
- 300 g | 2 cups plain flour plus more for rolling
- 2 tbsp wheatgerm
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground cloves
- ⅛ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp salt
- pinch baking powder
- 3 tbsp butter melted
Cinnamon Sugar
- 5 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170C | 340F. Line 3 trays with baking paper.
- Beat the butter and sugar together using the paddle attachment until well combined. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl midway through.
- Gradually add the beaten egg and honey and beat until well incorporated.
- Add the flour, wheatgerm, spices and salt and briefly beat together until just combined – do not overbeat or the cookies will be tough. You can use a spatula to fold everything together if you prefer.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured worktop and gather into a ball. Flatten to form adisk, wrap in clingflirm and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Dust your worktop and rolling pin with flour. Roll out the dough to 3mm ( 1/8in) thick and cut shapes using floured cookie cutters.
- Transfer the cookies to the trays, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, in batches if necessary, until cookies are just starting to colour at the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a little bowl. Brush the cookies with a little melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
