What’s the Project? These glazed ginger molasses cookies are the perfect Christmas cookie. The spices have that festive taste, they are easy to make, and they will make your house smell amazing! Plus, they taste great. Grab the recipe and make them today.

Ah the Christmas baking that has gone on at my house this month. You people would think I am crazy if you saw it all! The women in my husband’s family do a cookie exchange so that we can have a huge variety of cookies without as much work, but that still means a lot of baking on my part.

I baked 5 different Christmas cookie recipes. Today I am sharing a favorite…of my husband and his family. I admit that it’s not one that I eat, but that’s because I am a chocolate snob and only eat chocolate. I am told that this cookie is AMAZING! Here are glazed ginger molasses cookies that you’re going to love!

Ginger Molasses Cookies for Christmas drizzled with a yummy glaze. The perfect Christmas cookie! #Christmascookies

It’s a spice cookie (cinnamon, molasses, cloves, that sort of thing) with an icing glaze on the top.

    How many cookies does one batch make?

    • Amber says

      December 10, 2014 at 4:55 pm

      I always forget to add that! It makes a lot-probably 4 dozen.

      I don’t flatten them but I do sort of press them down gently after taking them out of the oven if they need it.

      • Pam B says

        December 11, 2014 at 8:21 pm

        Ok, thanks. They look and sound scrumptious. Blessed be, hugs!!! Pam

    Yeah.. that would probably helped me to… Knowing that it would make dozen!
    I made the cookies yesterday! I’m gluten intolerant…
    As flour I used 2/5 part riceflour, 1/5 part buckwheat and 2/5 part coconutflour.
    The last one has a rich taste!
    I used the half of the sugar and in stead of molasses I used half the amount in Honey.
    I didn’t make the glaze and didn’t roll them in sugar before baking.
    But boy do they taste super!

    You should try a cinnamon chocolate combination. It’s delicious. These cookies would probably taste awesome with a chocolate dip.. Granted, I love spice cookies as well as chocolate so I’d also take them as is.

    Hi Amber,

    I am a Brazilian woman and enjoying very much your recipes and everything of your “Crazy Little Projects”, but unfortunately, I don’t understand the abbreviations of certain terms of the recipes…

    I appreciate to know where I can find the translation in my language (Portuguese)…

    Thank you very much.

    Elizabeth

    • Amber says

      December 11, 2014 at 4:03 pm

      Try google translate?

      • Elizabeth Jarilho says

        December 11, 2014 at 5:27 pm

        Thanks Amber. I tried but it sounds strange… It didn’t make sense.

        Okay, I will find it…

        • Miranda says

          December 11, 2014 at 8:11 pm

          My guess is that the problem is not only translation but also conversions.
          C= U.S. cup
          tsp= U.S. teaspoon
          T= U.S. tablespoon
          This site (or you can Google cooking equivalents for yourself and find one you trust):
          http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/equiv.htm

          Has some baking conversions that ought to help anyone using non U.S. measures.

          • Elizabeth Jarilho says

            December 12, 2014 at 9:27 am

            Thank you so much, Miranda, for your kind attention!
            Very useful your comment…

            Elizabeth

    Your gorgeous picture of the tower of cookies with the glaze running down and the mug of milk make me want to go make some RIGHT NOW!!
    Thank you for the recipe!

    Please clarify the flour. The recipe says: 4-4 1/2 c flour

    • Amber says

      December 14, 2014 at 10:06 pm

      You will need to see what works for your dough but probably cloer to four and a half

    Hi. Hope you can still see this? Can you use a cookie cutter w this recipe? Thank you.

    • Amber says

      November 29, 2017 at 10:41 pm

      I don’t think so? But I guess you could try it.

    Hi,
    Can you freeze these cookies?

    • Amber says

      April 16, 2018 at 5:56 pm

      For sure!

  10. Sarah Bragvin says

    Can’t wait to try these! But it says to add cream, but how much cream? It doesn’t say.
    Thanks!
    Sarah

    • Amber says

      August 21, 2018 at 5:45 pm

      Sorry! I meant that as a verb as in cream, or mix the ingredients together. I changed it to clarify that.

      • Sarah Bragvin says

        August 22, 2018 at 1:39 am

        Lyckily I guessed it meant mix it together! 😀
        But thanks!

    Can margarine be replaced with butter? I just like the flavor butter adds to baked goods. And besides, my Daddy is a “Butter and Egg Man”!!
    Thanks so much!

    • Amber says

      December 4, 2018 at 10:38 pm

      Yes, I usually use butter for most recipes too but sometimes you have to be careful because they spread more with butter. I haven’t tried these with it so I am not sure but it’s likely to work.
