Soft Batch Gingerbread Cookies are one of my top-rated cookie recipes that are a Christmas classic! These cookies are exactly as you would want them to be big, soft with a slight chewiness!
The best part of these incredible cookies? They stay soft even after they cool down, just be sure to keep them in an airtight container. These are truly a 5-star cookie recipe!
Big & soft yet chewy with a bit of a light crisp to the the outsides- they are extraordinary!
Perfectly spiced with molasses and cinnamon, they define holiday cookie perfection. These are a Holiday / Christmas time staple in our home 🙂
Huge bonus to this recipe? — baking a couple batches of gingerbread in the oven is guaranteed to make your house smell Incredible. They are the perfect addition to your holiday baking list, wonderful for cookie trays or giving away as gifts, as I always love to do for friends and family!
I typically just sprinkle some sugar on the cookies but if you want to ice them, just use a quick powdered sugar icing..Royal icing or any other kind of frosting you like would work too!
