This Ginger Cream Cookie Recipe should not just be a Holiday cookie (in my opinion) because they are just so good, you are going to want to make these all year round. Just baking this cookie dough somehow makes your whole house feel more warm and so inviting.
How to make Ginger Cream Cookies
To make these simple, melt in your mouth Ginger Cookies start by creaming together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add in the egg and molasses and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cloves and cinnamon. Alternate adding and mixing in the dry ingredients and the water.
Mix until a soft dough is formed and all the ingredients are well incorporated. Scoop the dough onto a greased baking sheet with a scoop or two spoons, placing 1-2 inches apart.
Bake in a 400º F oven for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Cool on a cooling rack until cool enough to frost. Frost with buttercream frosting (if desired, this is optional, but delicious)
