Once the dough is crumbly, smooth it out slightly and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes wrapped in cling wrap.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of ginger powder, 0.5 teaspoons of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of cardamom powder to the butter and sugar mixture and mix well.

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface, sprinkling more flour if the dough gets sticky.
