Servings 45 cookies
Calories 78kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened (8 oz)
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted (4 oz)
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 2 ¼ cups all- purpose flour 10.5 oz
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the butter, dry ingredients, and vinegar. Blend with a hand mixer on low until combined, scraping the bowl down as needed. (If the dough is too dry, work in milk 1 teaspoon at a time.)
- Roll the dough out to ⅛ inch thickness on a lightly floured pastry mat. Cut out your shapes and place on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes until lightly golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
- Depending on the size of your cutters, you should be able to get 40- 50 cookies out of the batch.
- I like to divide the dough into 2- 4 portions and work with one portion at a time. The rest I keep wrapped up and in the fridge so the dough doesn't get too soft.
