How to Make Dutch Spice Cookies

  1. Break 1 (16.3 ounce) roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough into a large bowl.
  2. Let the dough stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften.
  3. Add 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves to the bowl.
  4. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or in the freezer for 20-25 minutes to firm up.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Lightly spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
  8. Place 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a small, shallow dish.
  9. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  10. Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar to coat.
  11. Place the sugar-coated dough balls about two inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  12. Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass to a 1/4-inch thickness.
  13. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  14. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
