These Gingerbread Cookies are so tasty and are the perfect holiday cookie! Whether you want to make gingerbread men or just quick and easy cookies, this recipe is a must try! I like my cookies soft in the middle so if you like them soft and chewy cut the baking time down closer eight minutes. If you are baking gingerbread cookies to decorate you might want to bake them slightly longer. I baked about 36 cookies and they were gone in two days – just tells you how good they are! Happy Baking and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

what type of molasses blackstrap ?
can I add extra ginger
Any brand of molasses would be fine, Bud. I love ginger too. A little extra ginger couldn’t hurt. Happy Holidays!
