Here’s a delicious and festive recipe for Gingerbread Snowballs—perfect for the holiday season! ❄️🍪

2 teaspoons molasses

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar:
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the molasses and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  5. Form the dough into balls:
    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart.
  6. Bake:
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just set. The cookies will be soft but firm up as they cool.
  7. Cool and coat:
    Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes. While they’re still slightly warm, roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat evenly. Once completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar a second time for that snowy finish.

Tips

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

For a festive touch, add a pinch of cinnamon to the powdered sugar coating.

These pair perfectly with hot cocoa or spiced tea!

Enjoy your Gingerbread Snowballs—crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with warm, spiced flavor! ❄️
