Honey Gingerbread Cookies
It wouldn’t be the holiday season without gingerbread cookies … so bake a few batches of our Honey Gingerbread Cookies and gather the family around to help decorate!
Ingredients
For the cookies
- 6 tbsp Sue Bee® honey
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger
For the frosting
- 1/3 cup Sue Bee® honey
- 1 package of cream cheese
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 3-4 cups powdered sugar
Directions
For the cookies
- Combine butter, honey and molasses in a bowl. Add dry ingredients until a dough is formed.
- Let dough chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Divide in half and knead each ball gently, as dough will still be soft and buttery.
- Roll each ball to a thickness of 1/4 inch on a lightly floured board and cut dough with a cookie cutter.
- Place shapes on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 F for 5 to 7 minutes. Watch carefully since they burn easily.
For the frosting
- Mix all ingredients until well-combined.
- Place into piping bag with a small tip and frost cookies. Serve and enjoy!
