Magnolia Monday: Iced Ginger Cookies
Amy Faries • Mar 03, 2020
Crisp yet soft, spicy yet sweet, these cookies are incredibly easy to make and not to mention delicious!
Halloween is officially over my friends, but that doesn't mean Magnolia Mondays have to end! I will be continuing this awesome series through the end of November then will begin a brand new series in December, so be prepared.
So good!
Now, on to our regularly scheduled programming, Magnolia Bakeries iced ginger cookies! Oh my lanta these are some good cookies. Once again Magnolia Bakery has made a super user friendly recipe to follow that anyone, and I mean anyone can make. I would go as far to say that this is the easiest recipe I have made from this book so far. It is literally one bowl, ingredients already in your home, and 12 minutes in the oven. How much easier can that get?!

Lets talk about the baking of these cookies. Just like any oven I have come to find that certain spots are hotter and certain spots are cooler. I baked 2 batches of these cookies on different shelves in my oven. The cookies on the top shelf were tasty but super crispy and had burnt bottoms. Whereas, the cookies on the bottom shelf of my oven were crisp and chewy and had gorgeous golden brown bottoms. Get to know YOUR oven and learn where your hot spots are so that you can produce perfect bakes each time. Also, invest in an oven thermometer for the most accurate read of temperature inside your oven. My golden brown batch tasted perfect! They had just the right amount of spice that a ginger cookie needs without becoming overwhelming. Plus, they were the perfect texture. The icing really completes the taste of these cookies. It gives a touch of sweetness that this spiced cookie really needs.
I ended up eating some of these cookies and giving the rest out to my fellow teachers and helpers at church. Needless to say everyone, including the young helpers gobbled these cookies right on up. Such a crowd pleaser and so festive for the fall or even Christmas.
