Yield: 24 cookies
Cuisine: Danish
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 3 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth cookie dough forms. Make sure not to overmix.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a cookie scoop, shape the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for a beautiful snowy finish.
