This is my favorite gingerbread cookies recipe and it's also loved by millions. Soft in the centers crisp on the edges, and perfectly spiced. I played around with the spices a lot and really loved the flavor of these cookies when using a full Tablespoon each of ground ginger and ground cinnamon. Make sure you chill the cookie dough discs for a minimum of 3 hours.

Notes

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: Baked and decorated (or not decorated) cookies freeze well -- up to three months. Unbaked cookie dough discs (just the dough prepared through step 2) freeze well -- up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator then continue with step 3.

Gingerbread House: This cookie dough is not sturdy enough for gingerbread houses.

Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.
