In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix. Add the soft butter and milk and mix into a uniform dough.
Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 395˚F (200˚C).
Working in batches, on a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to 3 mm thickness.
With a spekulatius roller, embossed rolling pin, or regular cookie cutters, cut dough into shapes. Transfer them to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cookies for 8 mins. or until just about golden-brown.
Let them cool completely and transfer them to an airtight container or cookie tin.
