Quick and easy to prepare, my Ginger and Spice Cookies are even quicker and easier to eat! These cookies are amazingly rich and flavorsome.
I’ve used the same spice combination you often see included in those great wintry, Christmas dishes and drinks, like Gluwein, mulled wine, German Christmas cookies, braised red cabbage and so on.
Ginger, cinnamon, and cloves – I think people will always associate these tastes with that special time of year when it’s cold outside but you’re cozied up inside enjoying something warming and fragrant. Another important ingredient: molasses. This is what gives the cookies that deep, treacle flavor, almost like burnt sugar.
To make Spiced Ginger Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat the sugar and butter together until smooth and fluffy.
Add the molasses and eggs to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Add the vanilla and mix together.
Sift the flour, baking soda, spices and salt into a bowl.
Add the flour a little at a time to the butter mixture, stirring well after each addition.
Sprinkle a piece of parchment paper with some sugar.
Take a tablespoon of the dough at a time, shape into a ball, and roll in the sugar to coat. Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 14-15 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Crunchy with sugar on the outside, warm with spices on the inside, I love these Spiced Ginger Cookies and I’m sure you will too! Don’t forget to tag your freshly baked cookie try with #cookmerecipes so I can see how you get on with this recipe!
Thank you, Bethany!
