- Make sure to soften the butter at room temperature before starting, as this will make creaming easier.
- For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- Chilling the dough for at least an hour before rolling it out can prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to avoid sticking and to ensure an even thickness.
- To avoid tough cookies, mix the flour into the wet ingredients just until combined; overmixing can result in a denser texture.
- If using the dough to make a gingerbread house, make sure to roll it slightly thicker to ensure sturdiness.
- Let the gingerbread cookies cool completely before decorating to ensure the icing sets properly.
Enjoy your freshly baked gingerbread with a cup of hot cocoa or share the joy by gifting it to friends and family. With its delightful blend of spices and rich flavor, this gingerbread is sure to become a favorite in your holiday baking tradition.
