- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and more uniform texture throughout your cookies
- Don’t overbake – cookies will look slightly underdone but continue cooking on hot pans after removal
- Chill dough for 30 minutes if too sticky to handle, making scooping much easier and cleaner
- Store in airtight containers with bread slices to maintain soft, chewy texture for up to one week
