Wintery Snowflake Cakelets

Cakelets:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze (optional):

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 Tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 375° F. Prepare pan with baking spray containing flour and use a pastry brush to evenly coat the details of the pan. In small bowl mix flour, baking soda, spices and salt. Set aside. Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter at medium speed until light and creamy. Add sugars and blend thoroughly. Add eggs one at a time. Mix thoroughly. Add flour mixture slowly, alternating with milk. Add vanilla and blend until just combined. Do not over-mix. Pour batter evenly into cake pan cavities, filling each cavity only 3/4 full. Tap gently on counter to remove bubbles. Bake until golden brown and toothpick stuck in the middle of the cakes comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes and turn cakes out of pan onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely before decorating.

Combine powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Pour glaze over cooled cakes on rack if desired.
