Preparation Steps

• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
• Place the butter, confectioners sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat until creamy.
• Add the dry ingredients and blend until mixed together.
• Form into a log roughly 2 inches in diameter and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate until the dough is firm, several hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Slice the dough into 0.25-inch rounds. Place the cookie slices onto the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350°F for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• For the glaze: Combine the confectioners sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and milk into a bowl. Stir until smooth.
• Pour the glaze into a quart-size freezer bag. Seal the bag and cut a small piece off one of the bottom corners. Drizzle the glaze over the cookies.
