In reply to Hannah.

You can absolutely freeze the dough! It lasts up to 3 mo. I used to give frozen dough as gifts to people with directions so they could have fresh baked cookies whenever they wanted!

Perfect gingerbread cookies for decorating! Love that they are soft in the middle.

My 3yo asked me to bake gingerbread cookies, and I knew just where I would be getting the recipe from-ABM! (Remembered to come post this while listening to their xmas cookie pod episode)! This recipe was short, sweet and to the point, which made it super easy to follow. I have to mention I am horrible in the kitchen, but ABM recipes always bring out the chef in me.The cookies came out FANTASTIC. We all really enjoyed them!

If you want to actually eat your gingerbread cookies- this is the recipe. I heard Elsie mention it a few times on the podcast and gave it a try. Very good as is, and if you’re a crazy spicy person, you could add more cloves or maybe even some more ginger to zing it up.

I’ve never made gingerbread cookies (not sure why) but this recipe was amazeballz! I turned them GF DF with King Arthur’s baking flour and increased the Baking soda to 2tsp and Country Crock home style dairy free. I also refrigerated the cut cookies on the tray for 15 mins before popping them in the oven! I’ll decorate tomorrow with my DF buttercream!!! Merry Christmas

I seriously love this recipe, but it makes so much at once. Any tips for freezing the dough?

I’ve been making this recipe since 2020. My family, neighbors, and coworkers all agree: these cookies taste like Christmas. Makes a huge batch, so great for sharing.
