For a softer cookie, slightly underbake them. If you prefer a crispier cookie, bake them for a minute or two longer. Feel free to experiment with different spices such as cloves, nutmeg, or cardamom to customize the flavor profile. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Dusting the cookies with coarse sugar before baking adds a delightful sparkle and crunch.
