These soft gingerbread cookies are a delightful combination of rich, warm spices and the perfect balance of sweetness and salt. Made with Member’s Mark™ Organic Ground Ginger, the cookies have a robust, earthy flavor that’s both aromatic and comforting. The Member’s Mark™ Sea Salt enhances the depth of flavor, bringing out the subtle sweetness of molasses while providing a gentle contrast to the spiciness of the ginger and molasses.
The dough is mixed to achieve a soft, chewy texture that melts in your mouth, while the touch of sea salt adds a delightful, savory twist that makes each bite even more irresistible. These cookies are perfect for the holiday season or any time you want to indulge in a cozy, homemade treat with a hint of sophistication. Whether you enjoy them with a cup of our favorite Comforting Chai Latte or save them for Santa, these gingerbread cookies are sure to become a favorite. The tip to making them perfect is removing from the pan once they’re cooked to allow them to flatten as they cool.
The biggest secret to these delicious soft gingerbread cookies is to use a high quality ground ginger, such as Member’s Mark™ Organic Ground Ginger. Buy a bottle in store or online at Sam’s Club today.
