I know a lot of people who fall back on old favorites when it comes to their holiday baking.

But for me, I leave the chocolate behind.

The holidays, to me, are about the more exotic and interesting flavors.

Ginger is one of those baking spices that only seems to come out during the holidays.

And this recipe will absolutely delight any ginger fan.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup butter, browned and chilled
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup dark molasses
  • ½ cup sugar, for rolling

Soft Ginger Cookies Recipe - Perfect for Christmas baking! on Mommy Evolution

Soft Ginger Cookies Instructions:

Step 1: Brown your butter well and place in a bowl into the fridge.

Let cool in fridge until hardened.

Remove from fridge about 30 minutes before you want to mix up this cookie dough.

Step 2: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 3: Sift the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and allspice together into a mixing bowl.

Step 4: Mix sugar and butter with a mixer until smooth and creamy.

Mix in the egg and molasses.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just coming together into a batter.

Step 5: Roll rounded teaspoon-sized amounts of dough into small balls between your hands, roll in sugar, and place onto parchment lined baking sheets.

Step 6: Bake until the cookies are barely set, the tops are slightly cracked, about 10 minutes.

Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes until they can be moved to a wire rack without breaking.

    I love all the cookies and flavors of the holidays. Give me chocolate, sweet and spicy and even savory – I won’t say no. I make gingerbread cookies every year and love the flavors – especially ginger. Thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday.
