Here’s what you’ll need to make gingerbread crinkle cookies:
If you’ve never been a fan of gingerbread cookies you have to try these gingerbread crinkle cookies! They’re simple and the outer coating of sugar helps add a nice boost of sweetness that some gingerbread recipes can be lacking.
Another reason I like these gingerbread crinkle cookies is the fact that they stay a little bit more chewy and soft.
You’ll need butte, brown sugar, egg, milk, molasses, all purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, white sugar, and powdered sugar! This is all pretty standard baking fare, a lot of which is probably already in your pantry or cupboards!
How to make crinkle cookies from gingerbread:
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes.
Add the egg and milk and beat to combine. Add the molasses and beat until fully combined. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
Beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no dry patches remain.
Cover with plastic wrap and place dough in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350F
Line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into even 1 1/2 Tablespoon balls of dough.
Roll the dough in the white sugar, and then in the powdered icing sugar.
Place the sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking trays, at least 2” apart.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until spread and well browned.
Allow to cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets before attempting to move to a cooling rack.
Do these cookies need to cool on the sheet before moving to a cooling rack?
Yes! Definitely give the cookies time to set on the sheets before you move them to the cooling rack.
Leaving the cookies on the sheets for those extra few minutes keeps them from falling apart or breaking when you try to move them!
What do gingerbread cookies taste like?
The flavors of gingerbread vary based on the type of molasses you use but in general you get the sweetness of a cookie up front but you also get some bite from the cinnamon and the seasonings in the molasses.
The ginger is the key component here as well. It works with the cinnamon to create a fresh and spicy flavor combo that everyone will love.
