Ingredients
- 4 sprays flour-variety cooking spray
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1¼ cups whole wheat flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts finely minced
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375ºF.
- Spray two cookie sheets with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, cardamom, baking soda, and both types of flour. Then set this bowl aside.
- In another large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and brown sugar. Do this on high speed until the mix looks light and runny.
- Change the mixer speed to low and slowly add in the dry ingredients you mixed earlier. Keep mixing until everything is well combined. The dough will be quite thick.
- Stir in the walnuts until they are evenly mixed into the dough.
- With slightly wet hands, make small balls from the dough, about the size of small walnuts.
- Place these dough balls on your prepared cookie sheets. Make sure to leave about 1 1/2 inches of space between each ball.
- Bake in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes. You'll know they're done when the tops start to turn golden.
- Take the cookies out of the oven and move them to wire racks to cool down.
- Once cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar over the cookies and they're ready to serve.
