Gingerbread cookies are the most popular cookies during the holiday Xmas season at my house. It is a shame that I never posted on my blog.
The thing is I always thought that there are so many recipes online why would you even make mine. However, I decided to post all the holiday recipes because why not.
I really love making them with my kids. Well, I feel terribly sadden that they are growing so fast.
I just want to turn back the time and relive those days when they were little all over again.

Although, I am happy to see them grow into these amazing individuals. I am like every mother or a parent out there.
Anyhow, I really enjoyed making these this year and doing it with my youngest one.
He will turn 13 soon, so I am treasuring this time before he finds his mom boring. hahaha (sobbing).
So, one fact about me that might not know before. I have never eaten these cookies before I came to the United States.
We have so many cookies that are served over the holiday season, but gingerbread cookies were just not traditional at all.

That being said, I love them. I like the taste, soft texture on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
You can use any cookie cutter to make different shapes and sizes. Of course, the most popular gingerbread cookie is Gingerbread Man.
In my opinion, I love to make them in all shapes and sizes so I go crazy… maybe a bit too crazy.
I don’t have many cookies on my blog. However, I set my mind to start making different ones now that I am more comfortable around making baked goodies other than bread.
Jokes on the side, I am really getting better at making sweets and I am so very proud of that.

Gingerbread Cookies
Gingerbread cookies are the most popular cookies during the holiday Xmas season.
Ingredients
- 6 oz, 170g unsalted butter (one and a half stick)
- 3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg, slightly mixed
- 1⁄2 cup original molasses
- 3 cups, 360g all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon, 5.2g ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- In a large bowl or a stand-up mixer bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and egg on medium speed until well blended
- Whisk the baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices into measured all-purpose flour.
- Gradually stir in dry ingredients until blended and smooth, but do not add more flour because the dough will firm up once it's chilled.
- Divide the dough in half, this way it will be easier to roll out, and then pat each half into a thick rectangle. Wrap well, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- The dough may be sticky and hard to roll if not thoroughly chilled, so make sure it's cold before continuing.
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C)
- Prepare baking sheets by lining with parchment paper.
- Place one wrapped dough portion on a lightly floured surface or use two plastic wraps, on the bottom and top, large enough to roll out dough. Roll dough to a scant 1/4-inch thick.
- Cut out cookies with a desired cutter; gingerbread man, flour, snowflakes, etc. Space cookies 2-inches apart because they will spread a bit due to the addition of baking soda.
- Bake 1 sheet at a time for 10 minutes
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a bit until they are firm enough to move to a cookie rack. After cookies are cool you may decorate them with traditional royal icing any way you desire.
