How to Make Old Fashioned Drop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in 2 tablespoons of hot water. Set aside.
- 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 cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and instant coffee granules.
- Add the dissolved baking soda mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and nuts (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a droppable consistency.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as baking times may vary slightly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
