Tips for making Gingerbread Cookie Dough:

This recipe is more of a sweet over spicy gingerbread cookie dough, if you want a stronger spice flavor you can add more ginger and cinnamon.
If you use unsalted butter add in about 1/4 tsp of salt.
Make sure to use unsulfured molasses otherwise it will taste less sweet and kind of chemically. I also prefer using light, medium, or dark molasses, not blackstrap because that is quite bitter.
Add more flour to your dough if it is too soft to your liking, one Tablespoon at a time.
You can leave out the white chocolate chips, or substitute them for regular chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, cinnamon chips, nuts, or other delicious mix-ins.

How to store Gingerbread Cookie Dough?

This cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can eat it straight from the fridge, and it will be a more firm consistency, or let it soften at room temperature to gooey back up again.

I also like rolling the cookie dough into little balls and storing them in the fridge that way. Then I can just pop one or two out of the fridge when I need a sweet treat.

This edible gingerbread cookie dough is the perfect easy holiday treat. It’s sweet, with the best molasses flavor. It’s great to enjoy by the spoonful, or use in other recipes.
