Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts, if using.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your spiced chocolate chip cookies with a warm beverage or on their own!
