The Best Gingerbread Cookies Recipe

Step 1

Whisk together the flour, spices, soda and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

Using a mixer, mix the oil, molasses and brown sugar together. Then, using the same wet bowl, mix in the eggs, one at a time.

Step 3

Next, slowly stir in your bowl of flour mixture into the mixer bowl of wet ingredients.

Step 4

The dough will still be quite sticky. Place the dough onto a heavily floured surface and with floured hands, work in more flour with your hands until the dough is no longer sticky.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 350˚ F.  On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/4 inch thick and cut out!  Bake for 8 minutes on un-greased cookie sheets until “cracked.”  Let cool for 2 minutes before removing.
