Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or greasing lightly.

Gradually add the baking soda, all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and allspice to the wet ingredients, stirring well after each addition. Continue to mix until a thick cookie dough forms.
-
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
