For extra flavor, you can add a dash of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon for a hint of warmth.4. To prevent your cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.5. For a gooey and decadent treat, slightly underbake the cookies and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring.
