Cinnamon Clove Spiced Cookies

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4–6 (Makes about 18 cookies)

🧾 Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon True Organic Cinnamon Powder
• ¼ teaspoon True Organic Whole Cloves, finely ground or crushed
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for chewiness)

For Topping (Optional):

2 tablespoons sugar + ¼ teaspoon True Organic Cinnamon Powder, mixed

👩🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
   In a bowl, whisk together flour, True Organic Cinnamon Powder, crushed True Organic Whole Cloves, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream Butter & Sugar:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
   Mix in egg, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures:
   Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
6. Shape the Cookies:
   Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and (optional) coat with cinnamon-sugar topping.
   Place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
7. Bake:
   Bake for 9–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
   The centers should still be soft — they’ll firm up as they cool.
8. Cool & Serve:
   Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
   Enjoy warm with a cup of coffee, milk, or hot cocoa!

✨ Serving Tip:
These cookies make a perfect holiday treat — warm, aromatic, and slightly spiced from the cinnamon and cloves. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
