Grandma’s Soft Ginger Cookies
Grandma’s soft ginger cookies- To be enjoyed with a glass of eggnog (the fun kind).
Festive and perfectly spiced, these gingerbread cookies have a tender and cakey texture, complete with slightly crispy edges.
What Makes These Cookies Special?
This recipe was slightly adapted from my husbands’ grandmothers recipe. These ginger cookies are incredibly soft and chewy, with just the right amount of spice. Molasses gives them a deep, rich flavor, while cinnamon and ginger provide a cozy warmth. A tiny pinch of salt rounds everything out, making these cookies perfect for pairing with a cup of tea, eggnog or hot cocoa.
