Cream together 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of softened butter until light and fluffy.

Add 2 eggs one at a time, blending after each addition.

Combine 1.5 cups of flour, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, and a little bit of cloves in a separate bowl and mix.

Add vanilla extract to the mixture.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until combined.

Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.

Generously spray muffin tins with cooking spray.

Fill muffin tins a third of the way full with the dough and press down, leaving an indentation in the middle.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 18 minutes.

Let the cookies cool in the pans for 2 minutes before tapping them out.
