  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, and cardamom.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins (optional).
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
