My Favorite Recipes: Gingerbread Cookies!

December 22, 2018 By Noelle 57 Comments

It’s that time of the year where you’ll be baking lots of cookies with your friends and family and I wanted to share my favorite gingerbread cookie (easy!) recipe because I’ve made some bad ones in the past.. so wanted to share one that I’ve tested and know is actually really good!

Best Gingerbread Cookies 

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup molasses
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • frosting of your choice ( you can make or I used pre-made ones I purchased)

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until easy to handle, about 4 hours or overnight. I did overnight and they were perfect!
  • Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Note: I actually did a little thicker than this because I love chewy gingerbread and it was delish!
  • Bake until edges are firm, 8-10 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Decorate cookies!!

Happy holidays ya’ll!

Kitchen before and after ✨literally fell out of Kitchen before and after ✨literally fell out of my seat the first time I saw this kitchen because of all of its glorious appliances but wanted to make it feel a little less modern!

8 years ago yesterday Danny walked into a clothing 8 years ago yesterday Danny walked into a clothing store in Brooklyn that I worked at (usually I worked with someone else but on this particular day alone) because his friend told him it was cool and he should check it out (and the store is very cool it’s @igwtnyc . I remember he walked in with fluffy 80’s hair, an oversized khaki trench coat, and big old school headphones. He was cute, but most customers were. I loved being helpful and genuinely loved working retail so kept complimenting him and helping him out. Apparently he didn’t really have any money.. but he bought a shirt LOL. As he was checking out we started chatting about how he had just moved to New York and i instantly was like oh I have a roommate moving out soon (which was true!) and that he could come check the place out if he wanted to. I was part flirting part nervous word vomit talking. I realized after I took a piece of paper and wrote my number on WHAT AM I DOING! Cute boy that I am asking to be my roommate NO! So we both got super awkward and said our goodbyes LOL. He texted me about 2 hours later to get a drink.. but we actually didn’t hangout until about 2 weeks later. Stories like this happen everyday, there’s nothing really unique about it. But it’s our story and we love it. We even acted out every scene of it yesterday 🤣 but you never know in these small interactions what could happen. I always think what if I hadn’t given him my number.. what if I hadn’t of remembered we actually had an extra of the size he needed of the shirt in the back and he wouldn’t of bought it.. honestly what if the girl I was working with that day hadn’t of called in sick. There’s no point to this really just that life is so many small moments making up such a big picture future. Anything can happen. The future is wild. Life is full of surprises ♥️
