Untested - Spiced Almond Wafers

3 cups all-purpose flour 
1 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature 
1 1/2 cups packed dark-brown sugar 
2 large eggs 
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
1/4 cup sliced blanched almonds
  1. Line 2 mini loaf pans with plastic wrap.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed for 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add eggs and spices. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions.
  3. Press cookie dough into pans, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for 1 1/2 hours (or up to 1 month).
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove dough from 1 pan. Let soften slightly. Cut eight 1/8-inch-thick slices with a sharp knife. Cover remaining dough, and freeze in pan until ready to slice and bake.
  5. Place slices 1 1/2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat. Top each with 2 to 3 almond slices. Freeze until firm, 5 minutes. Bake until dark golden brown, 10 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack. Repeat.
