Alright, now we can get started: Let’s get your ingredients out. FOR THE COOKIES:

— 2 sticks of butter, room temp. The original recipe has you split 1 stick of butter with 1/2 c of vegetable oil; I did not do that, and I was fine.

— 1/2 c granulated sugar 

— 1/2 c powdered sugar 

— 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger (I didn’t have that, so I grated just a little fresh ginger in)

— 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 

— 1/4 tsp ground cardamom 

— 1/8 tsp ground cloves 

— pinch of black pepper
