This Classic Gingerbread Cookies recipe makes soft, sweet and lightly spiced cookies. It's the perfect cookie for shaping and decorating! We love making gingerbread men, Christmas trees and snowflakes, but really any shape would work!

Classic Gingerbread Cookie Recipe

butter (2 sticks), at room temperature (salted

white sugar (220 grams)

light or dark molasses (do not use blackstrap

white vinegar (22 grams)

all-purpose flour (785 grams)

baking soda (9 grams)

salt (3 grams)

ginger (3 grams)

cinnamon (2 grams)

cloves (3 grams)

Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer) and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about three minutes, using a hand mixer or the paddle attachment on your stand mixer. Scrape down the sides as few times as needed.

Add the egg, molasses, and vinegar. Beat to combine well. The mixture will look a bit curdled.

Add the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves to the bowl and mix to combine well. The dough should come together when you press it in your hands and shouldn't be crumbly. If anything it'll still be a little tacky to the touch. That's ok.

Divide the dough into two even pieces, wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 to 90 minutes. Don't skip this step, it helps the cookies to keep their shape.

When the dough is done chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Working in sections, roll the dough to 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface; cut into desired shapes.

Place shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. Gather and reroll "scraps" of dough as needed, using all of the dough.

Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, and then move to a cooling rack.

Leave plain or decorate (here are 6 Simple Ways to Decorate Gingerbread Cookies if you are looking for some inspo).

These are THE best gingerbread cookies ever!!! Substituted apple cider vinegar since we were out of white vinegar, and like you mentioned in your notes, it didn't affect taste at all. Also, thanks for the tip about leaving the dough 1/2" thick if you like gingerbread soft. Ours turned out perfectly... perfectly soft,  but not tasting underbaked at all. They were SO delicious!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. We'll be making them every Christmas from now on!

When I made this recipe, it came out very crumbly and I’m not sure why. Not my favorite recipe :(

These are the best gingerbread cookies ever! My family looks forward to these every year!!! So soft and just the right amount of ginger! By far, best ever!

I really love this recipe but I feel like it’s missing the heat of a gingerbread cookie. I know this isn’t a ginger snap but I expected a little more spiciness. Overall though, it’s a delightful cookie! I love freezing them to enjoy later.
