SUGAR 'N SPICE COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt in a medium bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture slowly and beat on low speed until a stiff dough forms. For easier handling, refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness on lightly floured surface and cut out shapes. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned. Frost and decorate with your favorite icings and sprinkles.
