How to Make Vanilla Spice Slice And Bake Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans (optional).
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 12-inch log on a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and chill for at least 2 hours, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Once chilled, unwrap the logs and, using a sharp knife, slice into ¼-inch thick rounds.
- Place slices onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dip cooled cookies halfway into melted white or dark chocolate icing.
