Please share your best gingerbread cookie recipe

[Anonymous]

I am looking to make ginger bread cookies. There are so many recipes out there. Looking for something with not too much butter (if possible) and uses all good ingredients.

Please recommend your best recipe for the holidays to make or make with kids.

If you want to roll them out and decorate, Julia Child’s recipe is a classic.

If you really like ginger, I love Ina Garten’s that uses crystallized ginger. But they’re not for rolling.

NP- does anyone have one that is extra chewy? And very gingery? Almost like a molasses cookie.
That is my holy grail.

It is a house recipe but you can make 1/3 or 2/3 of the recipe (just have to estimate the spices). I use butter in place of vegetable shortening.

Strong molasses flavor, very nice texture and fun to decorate!

Buy the gingerbread cake mix and make the cookies on the recipe on the back.
They stay soft if you seal them.

I roll out and bake my own gingerbread house each year and this recipe is ridiculously over complicated. May be fine for cookies but don’t follow the house instructions. I’d slit my throat first.

I made these 2 weeks ago. I can vouch for this recipe!

I use a recipe from Once Upon a Tart but I have always had a problem getting to that chewiness. But last year I forgot the baking soda. The cookies were flat (but they did crinkle) and stayed wonderfully chewy. I kept them in the freezer taking out a few at a time which may have helped.
