Gingerbread christmas cookies decorated

These Soft Gingerbread Cookies cookies are amazingly soft and lightly spiced—perfect gingerbread man cookie for shaping and decorating!

Let's make Soft Gingerbread Cookies this holiday season! Soft, pillowy gingerbread with sunken centers and slightly crisped edges, plus little nooks and crannies packed with ginger spice and molasses. These are SO GOOD!

The holiday season is upon us, and there's nothing quite like the sweet, spicy aroma of freshly baked gingerbread cookies. In our previous post, I shared a delicious gingerdoodle cut-out cookie recipe that's bound to become a holiday staple in my home (and hopefully yours as well). Today, we're taking those cutout cookies a step further by showing you how to decorate a charming gingerbread cookie couple for Christmas with royal icing.
