How to Make Easy Spiced Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Roll each ball in granulated sugar, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  8. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies have slightly cracked.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
