Soft Gingerbread Cookies

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making soft and fragrant gingerbread cookies that are a hit with everyone. The key to their incredible texture is a two-day (minimum) fridge rest before baking and keeping them in the oven for just 7 minutes—any longer and they'll turn hard instead of staying beautifully soft.

  1. 1/7

    Making the dough

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, spices, baking soda and coconut sugar. Tip the mixture out onto your kitchen counter or a wooden board, make a well in the centre, crack in the eggs, then add the softened butter and honey.

    Kneading by hand

    Carefully mix everything together and knead the dough by hand. It's important to knead it thoroughly so it becomes smooth and even, with the sugar fully dissolved and everything nicely combined.

  3. 3/7

    Letting it rest

    Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. Let the dough rest for at least two days, though overnight is the minimum.

You asked for it, so here it is! This gingerbread recipe is an absolute winner. Originally it called for regular sugar and flour, but I tried swapping those for something a bit healthier, and the result is fantastic. The cookies turn out beautifully soft and fragrant, filling your whole house with their scent. Basically the real deal Christmas atmosphere :). So let's get baking!
