Soft Gingerbread Cookies



My mom and I came up with this delicious recipe for soft gingerbread about 10 years ago while talking on the phone.  I like to make these at Valentine's Day but they're delicious all year round!

Soft Gingerbread Cookies

1 c. butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. mollasses
2 eggs
1 Tb. cinnamon
1 Tb. ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3 1/2 c. flour

Mix first four ingredients together and then mix in remaining dry ingredients.  Chill for a short time---about 30 minutes.  Cut dough ball into fours, roll out each fourth on well floured surface, and cut with cookie cutters.  Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until just set.  Cool and spread with cream cheese frosting.  ( I like to use store-bought cream cheese frosting (not whipped!) but you can surely make your own! )

I'm running a giveaway for a free download of MyMemories Suite digital scrapbooking software.  Make sure to check it out---ends Feb. 25th.

I love soft cookies! I ate so much ginger when I was nursing because I heard that it made the milk come in faster. Not sure if it really worked or not - but I enjoyed the excuse to eat a lot of cookies. :) Thanks for linking up today!
