Preheat oven to 180C. In a large bowl, use an electric beater to mix the butter and icing sugar until light in colour and fluffy. Visit https://mrsrogers.co.nz/recipes/speculaas-spice-mix/ to learn how to make the Specula's Spice Mix.
Add the egg and mix well. Add the treacle and mix well.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well making sure to scrape down the sides so that all the ingredients are mixed.
Divide the mixture into 4 and wrap each in cling wrap. Place into the fridge for at least 2 hours to cool. You can freeze some of the mixture at this point to use for later.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until 5mm thick and cut with desired cookie cutters. Place onto a lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes until just going brown at the edges. Transfer to a cooling rack after sitting for 5 minutes on the baking tray.
Decorate once completely cool or serve as is.
