For a more intense spice flavor, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom or white pepper to the dough. If you prefer a crispier cookie, bake for a minute or two longer, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They also freeze well for longer storage.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepLightly dust two baking sheets with flour or line them with parchment paper. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This process incorporates air and creates a tender cookie. (5 minutes)
04
StepBeat in the egg until well combined. Then, add the cinnamon, baking powder, cloves, and nutmeg, mixing until fragrant and evenly distributed. (3 minutes)
05
StepGradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. (5 minutes)
06
StepShape the dough into cookies by hand, using a tablespoon to scoop and roll into balls, or roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. (10 minutes)
07
StepArrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are firm to the touch. (10 minutes)
09
StepRemove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. (2 minutes)
