Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar for rolling cookies
Instructions to Sweeten Your Day
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line with parchment paper your baking sheets.
- In a bowl, mix together your flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside, we’ll come back to this in a bit.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until it’s smooth and fluffy. This is where the magic begins!
- Add in that egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if you’re using it), and mix it well until it’s all combined.
- Now, slowly mix in the dry ingredients. You want to combine everything until you get a nice dough.
- In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. You can sprinkle a pinch of this spice mix into your dough for extra flavor – it’s all about how spicy you want them!
- Roll the dough into balls about the size of a tablespoon, then roll each ball into the sugar for that perfect sugary crunch on the outside.
- Place the cookies on your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them because they’ll spread out as they bake.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until they’re lightly golden around the edges. Let them cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
And voila! You’ve got yourself a batch of delicious Sugar and Spice Cookies that will make anyone feel right at home. Enjoy your sweet treat!
