4 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! Here is another recipe I have made a few times. I love gingerbread cookies of all kinds at Christmas. It’s just a must in my opinion. It’s one of my favorite flavors and smells and just feels like the perfect holiday treat. This is a recipe I tried a few years ago when I needed some freezer friendly cookie doughs. They are so gingery and yummy. Enjoy!
Step 1: Mix the sugar and shortening together until fluffy.
Step 2: Add egg and molasses and beat until combined.
Step 3: Mix together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and salt.
Step 4. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients until just combined.
Side note: At this point, you can stick in freezer to pull out whenever you may need.
Step 5: Roll dough into small balls (about a teaspoonful) and dip one side into sugar.
Step 6: Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until crisp.
