These Classic Gingerbread Cookies are soft, spiced, and full of warm flavors, making them a perfect treat for the holiday season. Whether you decorate them with icing or enjoy them plain, they are a festive and delightful addition to your cookie tray.
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well combined.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Chill: Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll and Cut: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (6mm) thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate: Once cooled, decorate the cookies with royal icing or sprinkles if desired.
