Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9x13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and molasses and beat until creamy. Add the egg and stir until completely incorporated. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until well combined. Press dough into pan (I just used my fingers to press the dough to the edges of the pan).
Bake for 15-20 minutes and let cool (don't over cook- I cooked mine for exactly 15 and they turned out perfect).
When finished, you can frost them with Cream Cheese Frosting or even cover with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Or, don't top them with anything. They are delicious no matter what you do!

Gingerbread Spice Mix

These look delicious – and easy! I am going to make a gluten free version – has anyone tried to adapt this recipe yet? I love gingerbread – but afraid cookies will be too crumbly and difficult to work with – this looks like the perfect solution!

Do you think you could double this recipe to make them cookie-sheet size?

I was bummed when mine came out way undercooked after baking 20 min. The sides were done but not the inside. This happens when I make brownies also. I blame it on the high altitude in utah. What can I do differently?

I am wanting to make these ahead of time(5 days) for a cookie exchange. i was going to freeze them, do you think that will work and should i frost them before I freeze them, or wait until they thaw to frost?

These turned out perfect and delicious!! Will make them time and time again! Do you know if I can make these cutouts instead of bars? They taste amazing and I want to make gingerbread men using this recipe if it will work.
