Jump to RecipeFirst, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until well combined. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a crumbly dough forms.
