Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Chopped mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped mixed nuts with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
