Would Christmas really be Christmas without gingerbread cookies?!

Good afternoon sweet friends! I wanted to share with you my Grandma’s famous gingerbread cookie recipe! Soft in the centers, crisp on the edges, and super delicious!  This afternoon my girls and I were busy baking!! Rolling the dough, cutting out different shapes, and having so much fun!

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg beaten
• 2 tbs corn syrup
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp ginger
• 2 tsp ground cloves 

Directions

• add all ingredients to a mixing bowl
• mix well
• roll out dough (don’t be afraid to flour your hands, rolling pin and work surface because the dough can become sticky as you work)
• cut shapes with cookie cutters
• place on cookie sheet with parchment paper
• bake 5-8 min @375′ (I bake them for 7 min)
• Enjoy! 
• (Girls tip.. Add a few seasonal sprinkles to make them look extra festive!!) 

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as our family does this holiday season!
