Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a log approximately 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unwrap the chilled dough logs and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they'll firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage.
