  • ยฝ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 ยฝ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze dough balls for up to 3 months for fresh cookies anytime. Add a cream cheese frosting for an extra decadent touch, or mix in nuts or chocolate chips to customize!
