Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
In a small bowl, combine 0.25 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to create the spiced rolling sugar.
Scoop out approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball using your palms. Roll each ball in the spiced sugar mixture to coat fully.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They will spread as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly puffed. Do not overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your warm, spiced doodles with a cup of tea or coffee!
