I’ve finally started my Christmas baking! And since I love a good tried and true recipe, I thought I would post the recipes I have for my Christmas baking! First up is the ever popular Ginger Crinkles. These cookies are chewy!
Ginger Crinkles:
2/3 cup vegetable oil (I replaced this with coconut oil for the health benefits and it worked!)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp ground ginger (I add a bit less)
1 tsp cinnamon (I add a bit more)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
sugar for rolling
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl, whisk oil with sugar, egg and molasses
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt
- Stir into the molasses mixture to form moist dough.
- Shape into 1″ (or so) balls with your hands, roll in sugar and place on cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees until flat, cracked and browned; about 12 minutes.
For this recipe I added everything into one bowl and used my Kitchenaid mixer to mix it for me!
I make these too! They are wonderful with a nice glass of milk. These are on my to-do list this week!

Hi Deb, I can’t remember exactly, but I’m going to guess about 2 dozen. For bot the ginger crinkles and the shortbread. Hope that helps!
