  • Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a bowl.
  • Cream butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth; beat egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Add the flour mixture in small amounts to the butter mixture, beating each addition until blended. Form the dough into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
  • Roll the dough out on a floured work surface with a rolling pin to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2-inch cookie cutters. Arrange the cut cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
