Recipe View Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container. Allow the flavors to meld for at least a week for optimal taste.

For a more intense spice flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground nutmeg or cardamom to the flour mixture.
If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling into balls.
The overnight drying process can be adjusted based on your climate. In humid environments, it may take longer.
These cookies improve with age, so don't be afraid to make them well in advance.

    These were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly, and the cookies came out perfect. The spice blend is just right.

  • Libbie Stiedemann

    Next time, I might add a little bit of orange zest to brighten up the flavor a bit. But overall, a fantastic recipe!

  • Tatyana Schaefer

    The drying time is key! I almost skipped it, but I'm so glad I didn't. They really do get that nice, slightly crisp exterior.
