How to Make Moravian Christmas Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  7. Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. 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.
  10. Once cool, dust generously with powdered sugar.
