Delicious Ginger Crinkles Recipe - Easy and Tasty Cookies

Ingredients

Servings:
36
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully heated before baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Mix thoroughly to incorporate air for a lighter texture.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.

    Do not overmix; stop as soon as combined.
  6. Shape and Coat

    Roll the dough into balls and then roll each ball in granulated sugar.

    For extra crunch, roll again in sugar before baking.
  7. Bake the Cookies

    Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes.

    Look for a slight crackle on top for perfect crinkles.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
