📝 Preparation Steps

COOKIES
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liner.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the Spice Mix ingredients. Remove one teaspoon to use in the frosting. To the remaining Spice Mix, whisk in all of the Dry ingredients.
4
In a separate large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy, ⏱️ 2-3 minutes. Beat in remaining Wet Ingredients until combined. Stir in Dry ingredients just until combined – don’t overmix!
5
Drop dough by the tablespoon at least 3 inches apart on prepared ungreased baking sheets (you will need to use a cookie scoop as dough is very wet/sticky). Bake ⏱️ 12-15 minutes or until tops are set. Let cool for ⏱️ 3 minutes then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

FROSTING
7
Beat butter and sugar with a hand-held mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add cream cheese, 1 piece at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
8
Add vanilla ad reserved 1 teaspoon Spice Mix and beat to combine. Add milk, if needed, a teaspoon at a time to reach desired consistency. Evenly spread frosting on cooled cookies.
