How to Make Moravian Christmas Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, dust generously with powdered sugar.
