13 days until Christmas is the perfect time to start some Holiday Baking! You have got to try our infamously irresistible and simple GingerGerbs cookie recipe!
You Will Need:
- 3/4 Cup Butter
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 Cup Molasses
- 1 Tbsp Water
- 2 Tsp Ginger
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp Cloves
- 2 1/2 Cups Flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Celsius.
- To a medium bowl, add butter, sugar, egg, molasses and water. Mix. Your mixture should be smooth.
- Add ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and white flour.
- Stir until your mixture resembles cookie dough.
- Spread some flour on a smooth surface and roll your dough.
Use a cookie cutter to cut each cookie. (Ideally, a mouse cookie cutter! We weren’t able to purchase one in time for this recipe, so we made one!)- Grease the cookie sheet and place each cookie with a couple centimeters apart – the cookies will spread.
- Sprinkle sugar on top of each cookie.
Cook for 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Your cookies will feel flimsy when they come out of the oven, but will be deliciously chewy when they cool down.
- Allow cookies to cool before removing them from the pan or decorating.
- Enjoy!
