Equipment

  • stand mixer

Ingredients

Creaming Ingredients

  • 2 cups softened butter or margarine (1lb or 454 grams)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups brown sugar firmly packed
  • 2 cups white sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 4 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon all spice
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (fan forced)
  • Using electric mixer, cream softened butter with white sugar and brown sugar, until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the eggs and whip again for another 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  • Put the remaining dry ingredients together in a large bowl, and combine together until spices are fully mixed with the flour.
  • Pour the creamed butter into the flour mixture and stir together until fully mixed and resembling a sticky cookie dough.
  • Using 2 teaspoons together, place a small heaped teaspoon of cookie dough on a greased cookie tray or on parchment paper. The cookie will melt and spread thin as it cooks, so allow wide spaces between on the tray. 6-8 cookies per baking sheet.
  • Bake for approx 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. If the cookie is too big in size, the centre of the cookie will be raw and will need more time in the oven.
  • Remove from oven and cool for 2 minutes on the baking tray. Remove cookies on a baking rack using a cookie lifter.
