Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves until evenly combined.
Mixing
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- If using, gently fold in chocolate chips or nuts into the cookie dough.
Baking
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
