Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, milk, lemon zest, and orange zest.
Step 4: Gradually stir in flour mixture until just combined. Scoop dough into balls and place them on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
