Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
