Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 2 ½ cups flour *see note
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 cup (16 tablespoons / 2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Spice Mixture:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons cardamom
- ½ teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Notes
- *This amount of flour produced the best textured cookie - for me. If you like your cookies a bit cakier, add an additional ¼ cup of flour (2 ¾ cups total). If you like your cookies thinner and crispier, take out ¼ cup of flour (2 ¼ cups total) and bake for 1-2 minutes longer.
