Instructions

Prepare the Dough:
- Begin by combining the softened butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cream the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated into the batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and all the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger). Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a stiff dough forms.

Shape the Nuts:
- Once the dough is ready, take small portions and roll them into marble-sized balls. This step is crucial as it determines the size and shape of your spice nuts.
-
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Place the rolled dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Cool and Serve:
- After baking, remove the tray from the oven and let the spice nuts cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these delightful treats as a quick snack or a charming addition to your dessert table.
