Ingredients

Scale

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter.
Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until smooth.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place them onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden.
Let cookies cool on wire racks.

Notes

If you prefer a crispier texture, bake the cookies a minute or two longer.
You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top of the dough balls before baking for extra flavor and sweetness.
For a more decorative touch, you can frost the cooled cookies with a simple glaze or cream cheese frosting.
