These are chewy ginger molasses cookies with cinnamon, molasses, and of course ginger, with icing on top that looks like snowflakes! They're simple, but so easy to make fancy with the icing on top.
It's a nice old fashioned ginger molasses cookie recipe with NO CHILLING or smashing required, definitely one of my fave easy holiday cookie recipes to make ahead and freeze, just like Maple Syrup Cookies or our all-time family favorite Classic Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies.
These taste similar to Grandma's molasses cookies and are super soft and chewy. You can make them thinner to fit the icing snowflakes better, or thicker and fluffier. They are one of my favorite cookies in the WORLD and so fun to make with kids or save for a holiday cookie swap.
They're beautiful but not difficult, and don't take a long time to make. Once you get the rhythm of icing the cookies, it goes pretty quickly.
