This coveted gingerdoodle cookie is one for the books my friends. It’s the perfect cross between a gingersnap cookie, gingerbread cookie, and a snickerdoodle cookie. Add this cookie to your Christmas cookie repertoire this year. I promise everyone will love them!
What Is A Gingerdoodle:
Gingerdoodles are a cross between a gingersnap, gingerbread and snickerdoodle cookies. They have the beautiful flavors of cinnamon and molasses and are perfect for the Fall or Winter.
How To Make Gingerdoodle Cookie:
I recommend using a stand mixer for this recipe. You can stir by hand, but just make sure to cream together the butter and sugar completely.
First start by creaming together the sugars and butter.
Next add the wet ingredients and mix to combine.
Add the remaining dry ingredients and stir.
Scoop into dough balls with a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop.
Coat in cinnamon and turbinado sugar.
Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.
Storage:
These cookies are great the next day. You can store the leftover cookies in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
I love baking these cookies as a Christmas gift and packaging them up in a cookie tin with a nice ribbon.
Can I Make Gingerdoodle Cookie Ahead of Time:
Yes! The great thing about this recipe is you can make the dough ahead of time. You can form the dough into a log and wrap the dough in saran wrap or parchment paper.
Place the log into the freezer and when you are ready to bake them off let the log thaw for 20 minutes or so, slice, coat in the cinnamon sugar and bake.
