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.
