Classic Holiday Ginger Cookies
A little spice, a little sweetness, and a kitchen filled with the comforting aroma of the holidays. This family recipe combines ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and honey for soft, fragrant cookies that are perfect for sharing.
Prep: 20 minutes | Chill: 1–1.5 hours | Bake: 7 minutes at 180°C (350°F)
Ingredients
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- 100 g unsalted butter, softened
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 3 tsp honey
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
- Cream the butter and sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and honey, mixing until combined.
- Make the dough. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Chill. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1–1.5 hours.
- Shape the cookies. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into your favourite holiday shapes.
- Bake. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 7 minutes, depending on thickness.
- Cool and decorate. Allow the cookies to cool completely before decoration.
Optional icing
Mix 100 g powdered sugar with approximately ½ tsp lemon juice, adding a few drops of water as needed until smooth and pipeable.
