Spices Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until smooth and well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick cookie dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

7. Gently flatten each ball of dough with the back of a spoon or your fingers to achieve your desired cookie thickness.

8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once the cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy with your favorite hot beverage or pack them up in a decorative tin to give as a thoughtful homemade gift.
