How to Make Mexican Spice Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve and enjoy! These cookies are delicious with a cup of coffee or alongside your favorite breakfast.
