An offset spatula helped to spread the dough out evenly. I baked this in parchment lined 15×10 jellyroll pan for 14-16 minutes. ginger syrup (The Ginger People’s) and did not roll in the additional sugar since I iced with a sifted powdered sugar, couple drops orange essential oil and enough coconut milk to get a pourable/spreadable consistency. of this mixture in the cookie recipe, used Kerry Gold salted butter, only 3/4 C. I used a Lebkuchengewurz spice mix (from The Daring Gourmet) and used 2 T. BUT they were delicious and chewy! The second time I made I tried to replicate a local bakery’s version of a bar cookie. I think my butter was way too soft as they spread and were thinner than your photo.

I suggest you run a test run with 1-2 cookies to establish optimum cooking time.Įxcellent! I made it as written the first time. The cooking time for cut cookies is reduced to 8-12 minutes. Much of the aeration is removed by rolling the cookies. If you are rolling the dough and cutting, then these cookies will become crisper. Using cookie cutters cut and place on parchment paper-covered baking sheets one inch apart. Remove from fridge and place on a generously floured surface using a rolling pin covered with flour, roll to one-quarter to one-third inch thick. Cover each fully with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least four hours up to three days. Divide the dough in half and shape it into round mounds. Can you roll these Gingerbread Cookies for cutting into shapes? Then move to wire racks to cool after 5 minutes. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll through sugar. Place the cookie dough balls on parchment paper-covered cookie sheets about 2 inches apart and bake for about 12 minutes. Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Using a stand mixer or hand-held mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Grab a medium bowl and combine your flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. They are quick to come together, and they freeze exceptionally well. These delicious cookies are perfect for your holiday gift-giving, cookie exchanges, and parties. It is next to impossible to describe, but you will know it when you smell and love it when you mix it in this cookie batter. Just as honey produces a different taste than sugar, so does molasses. It is a different type of sweetener, just like honey or agave syrup, and is often used to produce a certain type of flavor. Molasses is the dark, sweet syrupy by-product from refining sugar cane or sugar beets into sugar. Considered yourself warned because these cookies are amazing!! What is molasses? Which by itself is not the best-tasting ingredient but look out when you mix it with butter, sugar, flour, and fall baking spices. These easy, Soft Gingerbread Cookies are the best. I like the soft and chewy kind, not the hard kind that you need to dunk in milk. Are you a fan of gingerbread? I absolutely love it.
