To make this Layered Icebox Cake with Spiced Cookie Layers, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Spiced Cookies:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling:

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

To assemble:

- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the cake, place a layer of spiced cookies on the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top of the cookies, followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of chopped pecans. Repeat this process until all of the cookies and whipped cream have been used, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. When ready to serve, remove the cake from the refrigerator and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
