This super easy Gingerdoodle Cookie Recipe is filled with brown sugar, molasses and spices for a tender, melt in your mouth cookie.

There is not a cookie that reminds me more of the holidays than these deliciously soft and chewy Gingerdoodle cookies.

What is a Gingerdoodle Cookie?

Gingerdoodles are a combination of a gingerbread cookie and snickerdoodle cookie.
This cookie is soft and chewy with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
Before being baked the cookie dough is rolled in sugar to give it that snickerdoodle taste.

The cookie dough comes together in minutes and is super easy to work with.

Soft Molasses Ginger Cookies:

When making the cookie dough, make sure to sift the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients. This will help with the consistency of cookies.
Do not over mix the cookie dough.
Roll the cookies in granulated sugar and place about 2 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet (you can also use parchment paper).
No need to flatten the cookies and they spread and crackle nicely on their own.

I rolled these cookies into tablespoon size balls, so they’re a little on the smaller side.

If you want bigger cookies, you can do that too, just make sure to bake them a minute or so longer.

When freshly baked, these cookies have a lightly crisp outer coating thanks to being rolled in sugar, with a super soft and chewy inside.
I found that when I store these in an airtight container the crisp outside fades away and you’re left with a soft and chewy cookie.
These cookies are also freezable, making them great for the holidays!

You’re going to fall in love with these delicious little cookies, just like we have!
