Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add vanilla extract.
Blend Dough: Turn the mixer to low and gradually blend the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Note: Dough may appear dry and crumbly.
Chill Dough: Form dough into a ball, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C), fan-assisted. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness.
Cut Cookies: Use a Biscoff or fluted rectangle cookie cutter (2 x 3 inch/5 x 7 ½ cm) to cut out cookies. Carefully transfer them to prepared baking sheets.
Bake: Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days.
