Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips optional
- 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans) optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and salt until well combined. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If desired, fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped nuts to add extra flavor and texture.
Baking
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look a bit soft, but they will set as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Chilling the dough for at least an hour helps the flavors meld and prevents the cookies from spreading too much; consider varying the spices for personal taste.
