Ingredients:  
1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon mace I couldn't find any in our local grocery store, so had to use nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
a generous pinch of white pepper
1 cup plus 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour more if needed

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare one or two baking sheets by lining them with parchment.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and thoroughly incorporate.
Mix in the cardamom, cinnamon, salt, mace (or nutmeg), cloves and white pepper until completely blended.
Gradually add flour and mix well.
Lightly flour a clean work surface as well as your hands. Add a touch more flour to the dough if it's too sticky to handle.
Place dough onto the flour and removing golf ball sizes of dough, roll them into strands about 3/8-inch thick. Using a knife, cut dough into smaller pieces, about 1/2 teaspoon in size.
Place onto prepared baking sheet(s). They will spread slightly, but can be placed about 3/4-inch to an inch apart.
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until bottoms are lightly golden.
Cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet and store in an airtight container.
