How To Make Gingerbread Cookies
Line sheet trays with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt, and set aside.
Add the brown sugar, white sugar, and cubed butter in the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer. Mix until just combined; there will be lumps, and it will look like a sandy consistency.
Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add the flour mixture and mix until there are no streaks of flour left, but make sure to now overmix. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
Stir in the cinnamon chips and white chocolate chips until just combined.
Roll ¼ cup portions of dough between your hands to form a ball. I use a cookie scoop to help with this. Place on the prepared sheet trays.
Place the dough balls into the fridge for 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 300°F.
Place the cookie balls about 3 inches apart on the sheet tray. Bake for 22-25 minutes until puffed and starting to brown along the edges.
Immediately place the cookies onto a cold countertop and use the parchment paper to help slide them off the sheet tray.
Press in more cinnamon chips and white chocolate chips on top for a pretty presentation if desired.
Allow to cool slightly and serve warm or cool completely before storing.
Recipe Tips
- Immediately transferring the cookies to a wire rack or cool countertop will help them cool down faster.
- The cold butter helps keep the dough chilled and the cookies rising..
- You could even drizzle more chocolate on top for a fun touch. Go really crazy and add crushed store-bought ginger snaps or gingerbread cookies right into the dough. OR, drizzle/dip the finished cookies in chocolate and THEN sprinkle with the crushed store-bought cookies.
- These stay gooey for a long time; I suggest popping them in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes after they have cooled completely if you need to store them so the chocolate chips don't get squished on top and you end up with a big mess.
Variations
- Gingerbread Chocolate Chunk Cookies – You could use chocolate chunks instead of white chocolate chips.
- Chocolate Drizzle Gingerbread Cookies – Drizzle more chocolate on top for a fun touch.
- Crushed Ginger Snaps – Add crushed store-bought ginger snaps or gingerbread cookies right into the dough; OR, drizzle/dip the finished cookies in chocolate and THEN sprinkle with the crushed store-bought cookies
What To Serve With Gingerbread Cookies
- Milk – A big glass of milk goes perfectly with cookies.
- Vanilla Ice Cream – Crumble the cookies over a bowl of ice cream for a crunchy creamy dessert.
- More Christmas Cookies – Serve them with other Christmas Cookies at a cookie exchange party, or for a holiday dessert table.
- Holiday Dessert Dip – Pair the gingerbread cookies with a dessert dip, such as Hot Chocolate dip, and use the cookies as a “dipper.”
