METHOD

1. Scale ingredients accurately. Have all ingredients at room temperature.
2. Place the fat, sugar, salt, and spices in the mixing bowl. With the paddle attachment, cream these ingredients at low speed. Partway through mixing, stop the machine and scrape down the bowl to ensure even mixing.
3. Blend to a smooth paste, but do not cream.
4. Add the eggs and liquid, if any, and blend in at low speed.
5. Sift in the flour and leavening. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix, or gluten will develop.
6. Drop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. Allow enough space between cookies for spreading.
7. Bake at 160°C for approximately 12 to 15 mins.
