Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour. It makes cookies tough.
Don’t roll the sugar coating when cookies are hot. They’ll fall apart. Wait 5 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
I love serving these on a holiday platter with other cookies. Their snowy look makes them stand out.
They’re perfect for gifting. Pack them in a festive tin or clear bag with a ribbon.
Enjoy them with a hot drink like coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. The spices pair perfectly.
Variations & Customizations
Add a pinch of black pepper for a little spicy kick. It enhances the ginger flavor.
Roll the dough balls in coarse sugar before baking for a sparkly, crunchy version.
For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips to the dough.
How to Store, Freeze & Reheat
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They stay soft for a week.
You can freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
Freeze unbaked dough balls on a tray, then bag them. Bake from frozen, adding a minute or two.
Conclusion
These Gingerbread Snowballs are the easiest way to bring holiday cheer to your kitchen. They’re simple, delicious, and always a hit. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I do. Happy baking
