Time 55m

Yield 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50 grams) dark brown sugar
1 large egg (56 grams), room temperature
1/4 cup (70 milliliters) dark molasses
2 1/4 cups (290 grams) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon (4 milliliters) vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups (250 grams) powdered sugar
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) whole milk
1/3 cup sprinkles

Steps:

  • For the gingerbread cookie dough: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter, granulated sugar and dark brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on a medium-high speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes lighter in color. Mix in the egg and molasses on a medium speed until combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula.
  • Sift the dry ingredients (flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt) into the wet ingredients. Mix on low until just combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula.
  • Use a cookie scoop or large spoon to shape and roll 14 cookie dough balls using about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies seem set in the center. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 10 minutes, then place on a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • For the buttercream frosting: While the cookies bake and cool, mix the butter on a medium speed in a large bowl for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Mix on a medium speed until combined. Mix in the powdered sugar and milk on a low speed. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula. Once the powdered sugar is incorporated, mix for an additional minute on a low speed to give the frosting a super smooth consistency.
  • For the cookie decorations: Spread a thin layer of frosting on top of the cooled cookies using a small offset spatula or butter knife. Top with sprinkles, then enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for these cookies. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Grate the ginger finely: Grating the ginger finely will help it distribute evenly throughout the cookies and prevent large chunks of ginger from overpowering the flavor.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container: The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These soft ginger puff cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their soft, chewy texture and sweet, gingery flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
