Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar (for frosting)
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream (for frosting)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the molasses and egg to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center. Avoid overbaking to keep them tender.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable. Add more cream, a teaspoon at a time, if needed, to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 10

Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of frosting on top of each cookie.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your delicious Ginger Creams!
