To make these individually wrapped gingerbread cookies, you will need the following ingredients: • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour • 1 teaspoon baking powder • ½ teaspoon baking soda • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon • ¼ teaspoon salt • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar • 1 large egg • ¼ cup molasses • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • Assorted holiday sprinkles (optional)Instructions
To make these delicious gingerbread cookies, first preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles over the cookies (optional). Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.Assembling the Individually Wrapped Gingerbread Cookies
Once the cookies have cooled, it's time to assemble them! Place a cookie on a piece of parchment paper and wrap it up. Secure the parchment paper with a piece of string or ribbon. Repeat with the remaining cookies.Conclusion
