Part 3/7:
You’ll need two teaspoons of cinnamon, half a teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Feel free to customize with other spices, such as cardamom or allspice, if you desire. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even blend.
Mix Butter and Sugars
Next, grab your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large bowl if you're using a hand mixer. Into the mixer, add 1 cup (226 grams) of room temperature unsalted butter. If you're only equipped with salted butter, reduce the salt in the dry mix to 1/4 teaspoon. The butter should be softened enough that it leaves an indent when pressed.
