Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pans for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the Buttermilk Spice Crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
