Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Glaze (Optional):
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or chai
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters.
  8. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. For the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or chai, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.

Notes

  • For a snickerdoodle style, roll the dough balls in a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom before baking.
  • You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies make a thoughtful gift, especially during the holiday season. Consider adding them to your meal planning for festive occasions.
