Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Chopped mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped mixed nuts with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
