- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, bread flour, spices, and salt.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture until it forms a dough.
- Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, and chill between parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of ¼ to ½ inch and chill again briefly.
- Use cookie stamps to imprint designs and cut out cookies, placing them on baking sheets.
- Freeze the cookies for 30 minutes before baking at 375°F (190°C) for 7-9 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
- Dip the cooled cookies in the glaze and let them dry completely.
