Step By Step Instructions
Add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and salt to a large bowl. Mix well to combine and set aside. Then using a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together for three minutes or until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the molasses, vanilla, and egg until incorporated. Add flour mixture in three additions and mix until just combined. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to combine all ingredients into a soft dough. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the ginger crinkle cookie dough into 2-inch balls and place 2 inches apart onto a plate or baking sheet. Cover them in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours, then preheat the oven to 375 °F/190°C and line two baking sheets with nonstick foil or baking paper. Take the chilled balls and roll them into the confectioner’s sugar until they are evenly coated. Then place the coated balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the ginger crinkle cookies for 10 to 12 minutes (being careful not to overbake). Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 to 7 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool. These are so good, and they are definitely a cookie people of all ages will love. The scent in the kitchen when baking them is like gingerbread heaven! Bake them for your next holiday party, and watch them disappear! Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
