– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking soda. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into wet mixture without over-mixing.
4. If desired, fold in chocolate chips. Chill dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
