- Beat the butter and brown sugar together until fully mixed.
- Add 1 egg and mix until smooth. Set aside.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices into a large bowl.
- Add the butter mixture made earlier and incorporate until a stiff dough is formed.

- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Cut out the shapes you would like with a cookie cutter and place on a baking tray lined with paper.

- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Cool on the tray for two minutes, opening up the hole again if closed while baking.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Decorate with chocolate or icing sugar, and use string/ribbon to hang off your tree.
