SOFT AND CHEWY GINGERBREAD COOKIE RECIPE FULL
See the recipe card at the end of the post for the full ingredients list and instructions. I based today’s recipe on my perfect vanilla sugar cookies, which hold their shape beautifully as they bake, since there’s no leavening or eggs in the dough. When making cutout cookies, nothing is more frustrating than having the cookies spread out on the baking sheet so the cookies lose their shape.

But I knew they wouldn’t like the dark spiciness of classic gingerbread cookies, and to be honest, I don’t love them either. My little boys have been asking me to help them make gingerbread boy cookies this Christmas. After a brief chill time to ensure they don’t spread, the cookies are ready to bake! The gingerbread cookie dough is a breeze to make in the food processor, although if you don’t have one, you can use a pastry cutter instead.
