Serving Size: 36 
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Low Cal (Less than 300 cals) - Lower Carbs - Veggie
 
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour -- (about 6 3/4 ounces)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 Dash ground cloves
1 Dash freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup powdered sugar
10 tablespoon butter -- softened
1 tablespoon ice water
 
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through pepper), stirring well with a whisk.

Place sugar and butter in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until combined (mixture will appear crumbly). Sprinkle dough with 1 tablespoon ice water; toss with a fork. Divide dough in half. Shape dough into 2 (6-inch-long) logs; wrap each log in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour or until very firm.
 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
 
Unwrap dough logs. Carefully cut each log into 18 slices using a serrated knife. Place dough circles 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove cookies from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
