- Whisk together the flour, spices, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add them to the creamed mixture and blend until a soft dough forms and there is no dry flour left. Cover tightly with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon amounts of dough and roll round in your hands. Place on lined baking sheet 2 inches apart and flatten each ball slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool the cookies completely on a rack before decorating.
to decorate cookies with the stencil option
- Lay a small snowflake stencil on each cookie and dust generously with powdered sugar through a strainer. Gently lift the stencil straight up and off the cookie.

Notes
- * This simple recipe makes a smooth and glossy sugar glaze that's perfect for piping on cookies:
- cookie recipe from Bakeland: Nordic Treats Inspired by Nature
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (or water)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. This removes any lumps and ensures a smooth glaze.
- Add 1 tablespoon of milk and whisk until combined. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick,add another 1/2 teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, if using.
- Transfer the glaze to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
