Delightful, soft, and chewy Gingerbread Crinkle Cookies with a crinkled surface dusted with powdered sugar, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and light in color—about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and molasses, mixing until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll them in powdered sugar, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are soft.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For perfectly round cookies, roll the dough balls again after placing them on the sheet. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
