Soul Cakes

Traditional All Souls Day food. These cookies aren't over-sweet and stay moist for days!

1 cup butter

3 3/4 c. sifted flour

1 cup sugar

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

1 tsp allspice

2 eggs

2 tsp cider vinegar

4-6 tbsp milk

(optional) powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cut butter into the flour with a pastry blender or two knives
3. Blend in the sugar, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice; beat eggs, vinegar, and milk together.
4. Mix with the flour mixture until a stiff dough is formed.
5. Knead thoroughly and roll out to 1/4" thick
6. Cut into 3-inch rounds (I used a glass instead of a cookie/biscuit cutter) and place on greased baking sheets. Prick with a fork (in the shape of a cross, if you're doing this for a feast) and bake for 20-25 minutes.
7. (Optional) Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar while still warm.
