How to Make Soft Ginger Cookies With Glossy Orange Frosting
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the crystallized ginger.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and butter until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the frosting over the top.
