To begin, these Healthy Soft Gingerbread Cookies will be your go-to holiday cookie. The soft and chewy texture is my favorite part about these cookies. They pair perfectly with a latte, hot chocolate or cup of tea. Classic thin and crispy gingersnap cookies are delicious, but I have a feeling you are going to like these soft-baked gingerbread cookies even better! Secondly, these cookies are so easy to make! This is a one-bowl recipe with 6 ingredients! I coated a few of my cookies in white chocolate, but that’s totally optional!
Important Notes:
To obtain the soft-baked chewy texture, you must refrigerate your cookie dough for 30 minutes prior to baking. Additionally, I recommend storing these cookies in the fridge.
Ground ginger and molasses are required for this recipe! The ground ginger will give these cookies the classic ginger flavor. You can purchase ginger powder HERE. The molasses gives these cookies a darker color and makes them sweet and chewy. You can purchase molasses HERE.
