Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly blended. Set aside.

5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a little bit of flour should still be visible.
6. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Flatten them slightly with the back of your hand or a spatula.
7. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. They will firm up as they cool.
8. Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
