Cookie cutter results and a recipe

Remember my post about new cookie cutters? Well I have been experimenting with not so stable dough (chocolate cookies and oat cookies), but finally tried a receipt again, with slight modifications. It gives you a dough which is perfect for cookie cutters.
Here is the batch of what I call 'Spekulatius with a hint of orange'. They can be stored for quite some time without losing their flavor or shape.
The following recipe will give you about 1.5 times the amount of what is pictured.
- 100g butter
- 50g white sugar
- 25g brown sugar
- 200g flour
- 50g grated almonds
- 1/3 teaspoon of baking powder
- 9g Spekulatius spice (I use the Kotanyi brand)
- 5g grated orange peel (you can buy it packed by the Dr. Oetker brand)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 egg
Mix the butter with the sugar, then add the egg for a creamy mixture. Then mix in all the other ingredients and knead it thoroughly, but not too long. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Then roll it out (3-4mm thickness) and play with the cookie cutter... place the cookies on a baking sheet and let them bake for ~15min in the preheated oven at 180° Celsius.
Feel free to coat them with a sugar glaze or a dark chocolate glaze (would suit them better than milk chocolate IMO).
