Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugars.
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for a more flavorful cookie.
- Sift powdered sugar before dusting for smooth, even coverage.
