These are my favorite Christmas cookie recipes of all time!! The dough is super easy to make and the pan banging part is fun!
I tripled the batch which seemed a lot for my mixer I handle. The dough came out soft and fluffy, I thought almost too soft, but it was perfect! I thought it would make 30 cookies, it made 40! Fun surprise ?. I did 1Tbsp of gold Bacardi rum in the frosting and the rest water and it was perfect. These are a show stopper, must make cookie!
Thank you for this beautiful recipe!

These have become a holiday staple for me over the past few years. All I’ve shared them with adore these cookies! Recipe is well written. Amazing flavor, and they are delicious with or without the rum icing.

My husband and I LOVE ginger molasses cookies. This will forever be my go-to recipe. I love how thin they are. Ours came out Crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle. It is so difficult to only eat one. We didn’t have rum because of poor planning on my part. They are good with rum-less icing.

These are the best molasses cookies ever! The recipe and tips are detailed and comprehensive.I did add an extra tablespoon of molasses and a pinch more salt to my double batch of dough because you can never have too much molasses, in my humble opinion. This one is a family favorite and a definite keeper!

In reply to Linda. Yes, no issue refrigerating the dough!

Hi Sara! These cookies are heavenly and make Christmas magical. Thank you for the recipe. I have a question for you. I have to bake 7 dozen for a cookie party tomorrow. If I make the dough the night before and wake up at 4-5 am to bake will the dough do well in the fridge (sometimes the dough changes over night). Last year I mixed and baked right away. I don’t want to bake them the night before…looking for optimum freshness . Thank you.

These became our favorite cookies after stumbling across the recipe last year. I can’t wait to make them again for Christmas. We unanimously en ducted them into our annual Christmas cookie line up after the first bite last year.

In reply to Leigh. Hi Leigh - I usually take the dough out while the oven is preheating, and bake them still semi-frozen. I add a minute or two to the bake time. I prefer granulated sugar, but coarse brown sugar should work just fine!

In reply to Sarah Kieffer. Do u need to wait til dough defrosts after freezing? Can they be rolled in course brown sugar ir diss granulated work best?
