In a bowl sift the flour, mix with baking powder, ginger, cloves and cinnamon. I want to clarify about the baking powder:the packaging the manufacturer specifies at what amount of flour the bag. I have a 16 oz. 500 gr. flour, on such indicators it is necessary to pay attention.

Beat softened butter with sugar until white.

Add the egg and mix with a mixer on medium speed.

To the flour add the oil mixture, stir with a spatula, and in two steps pour the milk. Knead the dough with your hands. The finished dough will be elastic and pliable.

For the convenience of working with the dough I divided it into two parts-one worked and the other was on the table, sprinkled with flour. In the refrigerator not put, the dough rested at room temperature. On floured surface roll out the dough thickness of 0.5 cm and cut with cookie cutter for biscuit figures. Sprinkle ground almonds and sugar.

Preheat the oven in advance. Bake in greased and floured pan 30-40 min. at 180 ° C. Orientirueshsya in its oven-ready biscuits doubled and Browns. The output out 800 grams. cookies.

To enjoy your tea, coffee with milk or just milk this cookie fits perfectly. I liked the taste of the biscuits the next day-apparent ginger flavor and almond powder.
