These cookies are so delicious you guys! They have the perfect amount of nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon to make them interesting, but not too much to be overwhelming. Plus, they are all brown sugar and soft soft soft.
I am not a huge fan of spice cookies, generally because they are crunchy…problemo solved.
AND I happened to drizzle them with a cinnamon sugar glaze, which makes them as pretty as they are tasty!!! These will for sure be a hit in your house, just like they were in mine!
Cozy and comforting, these soft sugar cookies will be a permanent fixture in your cookie rotation!

- Turn mixer power to low and mix in flour

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

I made these today. They’re ok, but they don’t have enough spice IMO. You can barely taste the spice.
Great cookies 😉
