- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Substitutions: Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option. Substitute whole wheat flour for added fiber.
- Adjusting Sweetness: Reduce the sugar if you prefer less sweet cookies. You can adjust according to your taste
