Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough 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 lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Spiced Vanilla Cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or milk!
