Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator.
NOTE: I noticed the dough was much darker the next day.
Flour the counter top and place the ball of dough onto the floured counter top.
Divide the dough ball into quarters, leave one to roll out on the counter and set the other three aside.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut out the cookies with a cookie cutter.
Continue with the rest of the dough, rolling out and cutting into cookies.
Fill the baking sheets with the cookies, about 1/2 inch apart.
Place both baking sheets into the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, rotate the baking sheet and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes.
The cookies will have a slightly brown edge when done.
Once the cookies are done, remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
After the cookies have cooled completely, store in a air tight container leaving on the counter or freeze for later.
Serve these flavorful spiced cookies with your favorite beverage or along side your favorite ice cream.
