When the cold temperature starts to set in its time for some goodies that will warm your heart. I love to make these ginger cookies for my son. He may be all grown up but he still loves Mama’s cookies. I’ll make a batch for him and one for us!
You can make them plain or with the icing sugar.

Possible Variations in your Ginger Cookies:
Want to mix things up with your spicy cookies? Feel free to:
- Add in extra ginger: I love adding chopped crystallized ginger to these cookies for added flavor and crunch.
- Frost your cookies: A light glaze is delicious atop these cookies.
- Switch to butter instead of oil. It will be super creamy!
Can You Freeze Ginger Cookies?
Yes! You can freeze baked and unbaked cookies.
- To freeze the baked ginger cookies, Arrange the cooled cookies on a baking sheet. Freeze for three hours or up to overnight. Transfer the now-frozen cookies to a freezer-safe container. Wrap in at least one layer of foil for extra protection. Freeze for up to two months.
- To freeze the ginger cookie dough, Roll the dough into balls and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and freeze for about three hours or up to overnight. Transfer the now-frozen cookies to a zip-top bag or freezer-safe container. Wrap in at least one layer of foil for extra protection. Freeze for up to two months. When you’re ready to enjoy the cookies, thaw the dough in the fridge overnight. Roll the balls in sugar and bake according to the recipe.
