Classic Holiday Gingerbread Cookies
Main Ingredients: Unsalted Butter, Granulated Sugar, Light Brown Sugar
These classic holiday gingerbread cookies are a must-have for any holiday gathering. The dough is flavored with ginger, cinnamon, and cloves for a cookie that is bursting with traditional holiday flavors.
Ingredients
For the cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
For the icing:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Use holiday-themed cookie cutters to cut out the dough into desired shapes.
Place the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to drizzle the icing over the cookies.
Let the icing set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
