Gingerbread Crinkle Cookies
These gingerbread crinkle cookies are incredibly soft and flavorful! Their deep molasses flavor, spiced to perfection and rolled in powdered sugar, is so good with a glass of milk. They are the perfect cookies to make for Santa this holiday season.
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup unsulphered molasses
- 3 ½ cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Rolling
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½-1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add 1 cup butter, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, and ⅔ cup dark brown sugar to a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add ½ cup unsulphered molasses and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on medium speed until fully combined before mixing in 3 tablespoons milk and 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Split the dough into two discs and wrap them in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- After the dough chills, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough into 1 ½ inch balls and roll them in ½ cup granulated sugar, followed by ½-1 cup powdered sugar, and place them on the prepared baking sheets leaving 2 inches between them.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes. The centers of the cookies will still look gooey and underbaked, which is just fine! Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
