I couldn’t finish the week without one more cookie.  Soft Gingerdoodles are the perfect combination of Ginger Snap and Snickerdoodle cookies.  My family and I couldn’t get enough of these sweet babies.  I had planned on freezing them until later in the month but before I knew it…they were gone.  My family is not the only one’s to blame though, I can’t deny my love of soft and delicious cookies.

One of my favorite things about this cookie is that you don’t have to chill the dough.  I am such an instant gratification girl and a lot of my recipes require some time in the fridge but not this one!  Plus, the dough is simple to pull together and full of awesome holiday flavor.

Tips & tricks to achieve the most delicious cookies of your life!

If you like these cookies then you should try these sweeties…Peanut Butter Blossoms, Soft Snickerdoodles or Soft Confetti Sprinkle Cookies.

The dough itself comes together quickly.  Cream the butter or margarine and sugars, add the egg, vanilla and molasses, finally add the dry ingredients.  Once the dough is made, they take a quick roll in a cinnamon and sugar mixture.  Using a cookie scoop ensures a uniform cookie.

This dough does spread some while baking {remember…no chill}, so be sure to leave enough room between cookies to allow for that.

You can tell when they are ready because they start to crack.  It took 8-9 minutes at 350 degrees.   Don’t over bake!  

Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes and then move them to a cooling rack.  Once they are completely cooled, they are ready!!  Be prepared to take a bite of heaven.  

I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t love a plate of these cookies for Christmas or any day for that matter!  They are soft, perfectly spiced and who ever you gift them to will feel loved.
