Title: Sugar Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks
Yield: 24 servings

2 1/2 c (320 g) A-P flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Kosher salt
1 c (225 g) unsalted butter;
- softened
1/4 c (150 g) granulated sugar
1 lg Egg; room temp
1 ts Vanilla extract

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl,
and whisk to combine. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle
attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar
on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3
minutes. Add egg and vanilla, and beat on medium speed
until well combined, scraping the bowl as needed.

Add flour mixture and beat on low speed just until
combined. Scrape the bowl and fold a few times to make
sure everything is well combined. Wrap dough in plastic
wrap, flatten into a disk, and chill until firm, at
least 1 hour.

Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Roll out dough 1/4" thick. Use 3' floured cutters to cut
out cookies, and transfer to two parchment- or silicone
mat-lined baking sheets, spacing the cookies 1 1/2"
apart. Reroll scraps as needed, chilling as needed until
firm before rolling and cutting again. Freeze until very
firm, about 10 minutes.

Bake until golden brown at the edges, 12 to 14 minutes.

Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheets, then
transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies will
keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up
to 2 weeks, or frozen up to 3 months.

Title: Gingerbread Latte Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Herbs
Yield: 18 servings

MMMMM--------------------------COOKIES-------------------------------
1/4 c (168 g) unsalted butter
1/4 c (22 g) espresso powder
1 tb (17 g) fine grated fresh
- ginger
2 ts Ground ginger
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
1/4 ts Ground clove
1/2 c (100 g) granulated sugar
1/2 c (107 g) dark brown sugar;
- packed
1/4 c (80 g) unsulphured molasses
1 ts Kosher salt
1 lg Egg
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Baking soda
2 c (252 g) A-P flour

MMMMM--------------------------COATING-------------------------------
1/4 c (50 g) granulated sugar
2 ts Espresso powder
1/2 ts Ground ginger

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium. When
it begins to bubble and get foamy, remove from the heat
and whisk in the espresso powder, fresh ginger, ground
ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Scrape the butter
mixture into a medium mixing bowl and set aside to cool
for about 5 minutes.

Add the sugars, molasses and salt to the bowl and whisk
vigorously to combine. Add the egg, vanilla and baking
soda and continue whisking until the mixture appears
smooth and it's the consistency of thin pancake batter,
about 2 minutes. Add the flour and mix until evenly
incorporated. Cover and chill the dough for at least 2
hours and up to 2 days before baking.

Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC, with racks on the lower and
upper thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Prepare the coating by combining the granulated sugar,
espresso powder and ground ginger in a small bowl.

Using a 2-tablespoon (1 ounce) scoop, scoop the dough
and, using your hands, roll into walnut-size balls.
(Alternatively, for each cookie, use a tablespoon
measure to scoop 2 tablespoons dough and roll them into
a ball.) Toss in the sugar mixture to coat.

Place the portioned dough 2" apart on the prepared
baking sheets and bake, rotating the sheets on the racks
halfway through, until the cookies have spread slightly
and appear craggy on the surface, about 10 minutes.
Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes, then
transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (The cookies
will flatten once cooled.) These cookies keep in an
airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days
(if they last that long).
