This recipe, from Food52 co-founder Merrill Stubbs, appeared in our 2012 Cookie Advent Calendar. Merrill says: "To me, this cookie (from the Silver Palate Cookbook) is the perfect holiday cookie. It's like a more pliable ginger snap—thin and chewy and warmly spiced. Don't forget a glass of milk for dunking!"
