Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  3. Place 1 1/2 cups of sugar, softened cream cheese, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and black pepper in a large bowl. Place the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar in a shallow dish and set aside. 
  4. Pour the warm melted butter over the sugar, cream cheese and spices then beat the mixture with a hand mixer (or whisk) until creamy and smooth.
  5. Whisk in the oil until incorporated. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla; continue to whisk until smooth. 
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until a soft homogeneous dough forms. 
  7. Portion cookie dough by using a 2 tablespoon portion scoop then roll each ball, coating them completely, in the reserved 1/3 cup of sugar.
  8. Place 12 sugar-coated dough balls evenly spaced on each of the prepared baking sheets. Using the bottom of a drinking glass, flatten dough balls until 2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle tops evenly with some of the remaining sugar.
  9. Bake, 1 tray at a time, until edges are set and just beginning to brown, 11 to 13 minutes, rotating tray after 7 minutes.
  10. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy.
