Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and spices thoroughly and knead with the remaining ingredients to form a dough. Wrap the dough in foil and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, process the dough in a meat grinder fitted with a cookie cutter attachment until you have shortbread cookies. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 180°C for 10-12 minutes on the middle rack.
