Soft Chewy Ginger Cookies

Soft Chewy Gin­ger Cook­ies are my choice for Day 6 of #12DaysOf Christ­mas­Cook­ies. Guys, I love these cookies!

I LOVE all the warm spices of fall and win­ter. Cin­na­mon, gin­ger, nut­meg, all­spice and cloves are fla­vors and smells that make me swoon. lol I even buy can­dles in those fra­grances and burn them year-round. There’s some­thing so homey and warm and wel­com­ing about their scents. 

Well, no need for can­dles, today. My Soft Chewy Gin­ger Cook­ies have filled the house with the won­der­ful aro­mas of love­ly, toasty, warm spices. They make me want to curl up by a warm fire with some cocoa and a good book and a plate­ful of these deli­cious cookies!

Enjoy!

How to Make Soft Chewy Ginger Cookies

This is anoth­er tried and true cook­ie recipe that fol­lows the tra­di­tion­al cook­ie formula. 

1. Cream the but­ter and sugars/honey.
2. Beat in the eggs.
3. Add the dry ingre­di­ents and mix to combine.

SO sim­ple for some­thing so exquis­ite­ly scrump­tious! Like Snick­er­doo­dles or Peanut But­ter Blos­soms, these cook­ies are rolled into balls which are rolled in sug­ar and then baked. 

My trusty *cook­ie dough scoop, *sil­i­cone mats and *bak­ing sheets helped me make quick work of that process.

You’ve prob­a­bly already mem­o­rized my mot­to with mak­ing cook­ies. “Resist the urge to over­bake these.” Like any cook­ie that you want to be soft and chewy, remov­ing them from the oven just slight­ly under­baked is the secret. Put the cook­ie sheet on a cool­ing rack for two or three min­utes to let the cook­ies con­tin­ue to “bake” and set up, even though they’re no longer in the oven.

After 2 or 3 min­utes, trans­fer the cook­ies from the bak­ing sheet to the cool­ing rack. These cook­ies don’t need any more fuss­ing or dec­o­ra­tion. They are fan­tas­tic and sim­ple and they taste like “home”.

Enjoy your deli­cious masterpieces!
