Autumn Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and egg, mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space the dough about 2-3 inches apart.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Serve and enjoy!
