Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and vegetable oil until well blended.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar and powdered sugar, mixing on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger into the cookie dough.
Baking
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out nine cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Gently flatten each ball with your palm and create a shallow well in the center of each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For softer cookies, slightly underbake them. For a crispier texture, bake a minute or two longer. Chilling the dough can help with shaping and improve flavor. Add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts can be incorporated for variety.
