Dry Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the Gingerdoodles.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Egg and Vanilla

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Baking

  1. 6

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. 7

    Shape Cookies

    Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

  3. 8

    Make Topping Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.

  4. 9

    Coat Cookies

    Roll the tops of the cookie dough balls in the sugar-cinnamon mixture before placing them on the baking sheet.

  5. 10

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear soft but will firm up as they cool.

Cooling and Serving

  1. 11

    Cool Cookies

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. 12

    Serve

    Once cooled, serve the Gingerdoodles with a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy!
