Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set this aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed. Continue until all the flour mixture is incorporated, forming a soft dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers may still look soft; they will firm up as the cookies cool.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy Olga's Sugar and Spice Cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or warm milk!
