Ingredients

1 cup butter softened
1 ½ cups brown sugar packed
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoons ground nutmeg
½ teaspoons salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, on medium speed beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time and then add the vanilla.
Be sure to scrape the sides of your bowl to incorporate everything.
In another bowl, whisk together all of the remaining dry ingredients.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture on low speed a little at a time, until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Roll the dough into 1" balls and place 2" apart on cookie sheet.
Using the bottom of a cup, or a fork, gently press down on the dough to spread it out a little. Keep the dough to at least 1/8" thickness but for the softest cookies, I recommend a little more.
Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Move to a cooling rack.
