Soft gingerbread cookies made with honey instead of molasses, rolled in spiced sugar. Our Christmas favorite! Easy recipe for 15 cookies.

  • 6 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cup + 6 Tbsp flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • A pinch of salt

Sugar Coating

  • 3 Tbsp regular sugar
  • 1/2 tsp gingerbread spice blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together 3 Tbsp regular sugar and 1/2 tsp gingerbread spice blend. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar.
  4. Add honey and stir.
  5. Add egg and stir.
  6. Add the flour, spice blend, baking soda, and salt. Stir until combined.
  7. Roll dough in the palms of hands to create smooth balls, then coat them in sugar/spice coating mix.
  8. Place the dough balls on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 13-15 minutes. (The cookies' edges will be done but the centers will continue to set after they're removed from the oven.)
