Spiced turtle doves are a delicious and flavorful recipe that combines a blend of warm spices with a buttery, sweet dough. This treat is not only satisfying but also straightforward to make, making it perfect for both novice and experienced bakers. The combination of cinnamon, mixed spices, and a hint of honey creates an aroma and taste that are universally appealing.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the egg until fully incorporated. Add the honey and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, spice mix, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Be careful not to overbake, as these cookies can become too hard.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your spiced turtle doves with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.
- Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients to avoid lumps and ensure even mixing.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and to help the cookies hold their shape.
- Use a cookie cutter for uniform shapes and even baking.
- Keep an eye on the cookies while baking to prevent them from becoming too brown; they should be lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container to retain their crispness.
Cooking spiced turtle doves is a delightful process and the end result is a batch of wonderfully fragrant and tasty treats. They are perfect for sharing with family and friends or enjoying with a warm beverage. With a simple set of ingredients and steps, these spiced turtle doves are sure to become a favorite in your baking repertoire.
