Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract and walnuts, if using.
Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are delicious on their own but can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days or freeze for up to three months.
