I also find them incredibly versatile, an ideal cookie to personalize to your own tastes. The most obvious addition to a plain oatmeal cookie would be plump, juicy raisins…but I know plenty of folks who won’t even be in the same room with a raisin. For those, I’d throw in some chocolate chips—my favorite embellishment. This recipe is my go-to, and as you can see, I’ve included the chocolate chips.

This sweet, chewy cookie recipe, with the added benefit of chocolate chips, is here to hug you.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love a good oatmeal cookie, especially one that is chewy, slightly crisp on the edges, with a nice balance of sweet and savory. I also find them incredibly versatile, an ideal cookie to personalize to your own tastes. The most obvious addition to a plain oatmeal cookie would be plump, juicy raisins…but I know plenty of folks who won’t even be in the same room with a raisin. For those, I’d throw in some chocolate chips—my favorite embellishment. This recipe is my go-to, and as you can see, I’ve included the chocolate chips.

No holiday, family gathering, or birthday was complete without them. It didn’t really matter which recipe I made, from the Tollhouse version on the back of the chocolate chip bag to some fancy chef-backed recipe I found in a gourmet cookbook, he always loved them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, I’ve tried countless recipes, then, based on all those trials and successes and sometimes failures, I came up with a version that I really quite like. These are pretty classic…not cakey, but a little fluffy, somewhat chewy, with a nice lightly crisp exterior. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t tend to sully my chocolate chip cookies with nuts (besides, my husband is allergic and he would be terribly sad if I “ruined” a batch of cookies with nuts) or other embellishments, but hey, if you love nuts by all means add them. Just be sure they are fresh and toasted. About 3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans, walnuts, or almonds should do the trick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as I’m concerned, and certainly as far as my Dad was ever concerned, no cookie swap, cookie platter, holiday or celebration is really complete without these in the mix. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Note:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> \u003cem>If you like, make a double batch, but be sure you have at least a 5 quart mixer.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123689\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Chip Cookies \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123689\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chocolate Chip Cookies \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 3 dozen cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2½ cups all-purpose flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1½ tsp baking soda\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup unsalted butter, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup packed golden brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>⅔ cup granulated sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 large eggs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 (12-oz) bag bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Position 2 oven racks evenly in the oven.

This surefire recipe has everything you are looking for, delicately crisp on the outside, slightly chewy on the inside.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My Dad, who passed away earlier this year, loved chocolate chip cookies. No holiday, family gathering, or birthday was complete without them. It didn’t really matter which recipe I made, from the Tollhouse version on the back of the chocolate chip bag to some fancy chef-backed recipe I found in a gourmet cookbook, he always loved them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, I’ve tried countless recipes, then, based on all those trials and successes and sometimes failures, I came up with a version that I really quite like. These are pretty classic…not cakey, but a little fluffy, somewhat chewy, with a nice lightly crisp exterior. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t tend to sully my chocolate chip cookies with nuts (besides, my husband is allergic and he would be terribly sad if I “ruined” a batch of cookies with nuts) or other embellishments, but hey, if you love nuts by all means add them. Just be sure they are fresh and toasted. About 3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans, walnuts, or almonds should do the trick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as I’m concerned, and certainly as far as my Dad was ever concerned, no cookie swap, cookie platter, holiday or celebration is really complete without these in the mix. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Note:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> \u003cem>If you like, make a double batch, but be sure you have at least a 5 quart mixer.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123689\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Chip Cookies \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123689\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_0534-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chocolate Chip Cookies \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 3 dozen cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2½ cups all-purpose flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1½ tsp baking soda\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup unsalted butter, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup packed golden brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>⅔ cup granulated sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 large eggs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 (12-oz) bag bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Position 2 oven racks evenly in the oven.

Our cookie platter would be lonely without it.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband hails from Scotland, where shortbread is a BIG DEAL. Coincidentally, it is also the birthplace of shortbread, where it has been made, in one guise or another, for centuries. Wrap your head around that…a centuries-old cookie. Of course, they would never describe it as a “cookie” since it is a biscuit, but it is not a bread. Confused? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortbread is a favorite at holiday-time (or other special occasions like weddings), as it was historically an expensive luxury given that two of the main ingredients were butter and sugar. And while nowadays it is eaten year-round, and often given as a Scottish souvenir, it’s still special in our book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortbread can be as simple as the key ingredients: flour, sugar, and butter, or it can be embellished with flavorings like vanilla bean, lemon or orange zest, dried lavender, ginger, or even chocolate. I like the addition of a bit of salt to offset the sweetness, like I do with pretty much any dessert or sweet. And a little cornstarch keeps the texture from becoming overly crumbly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally, shortbread is baked in one of three ways: baked in a square pan and cut into rectangles (or “fingers”), baked in a round and cut into wedges, or cut into individual rounds. This recipe was tested in a square pan and cut into rectangles, but it could also be baked in a round cake pan and cut into wedges (also called “petticoat tails”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here, I’ve added lemon zest and a splash of juice to give this version of shortbread a little kick.

Our cookie platter would be lonely without it.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband hails from Scotland, where shortbread is a BIG DEAL. Coincidentally, it is also the birthplace of shortbread, where it has been made, in one guise or another, for centuries. Wrap your head around that…a centuries-old cookie. Of course, they would never describe it as a “cookie” since it is a biscuit, but it is not a bread. Confused? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortbread is a favorite at holiday-time (or other special occasions like weddings), as it was historically an expensive luxury given that two of the main ingredients were butter and sugar. And while nowadays it is eaten year-round, and often given as a Scottish souvenir, it’s still special in our book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortbread can be as simple as the key ingredients: flour, sugar, and butter, or it can be embellished with flavorings like vanilla bean, lemon or orange zest, dried lavender, ginger, or even chocolate. I like the addition of a bit of salt to offset the sweetness, like I do with pretty much any dessert or sweet. And a little cornstarch keeps the texture from becoming overly crumbly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally, shortbread is baked in one of three ways: baked in a square pan and cut into rectangles (or “fingers”), baked in a round and cut into wedges, or cut into individual rounds. This recipe was tested in a square pan and cut into rectangles, but it could also be baked in a round cake pan and cut into wedges (also called “petticoat tails”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here, I’ve added lemon zest and a splash of juice to give this version of shortbread a little kick.

Recipe: Mom’s Pecan Butter Balls","publishDate":1512579643,"format":"video","headTitle":"New Year’s Recipes | Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Melt-in-your-mouth butter balls, also known by many other names like Mexican wedding cakes, are a must on your holiday cookie platter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandies, butter balls, Mexican wedding cakes, Russian tea cakes, snowballs, or pecan balls…whatever you might call them, these powdery white cookies all have something in common: they are buttery and nutty, with a crumbly texture, coated in powdered sugar, and one of the most-loved holiday cookies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And every year, for as long as I remember, my mom has baked them. And her mother--my grandmother--baked them before her, and quite possibly her mother—my great-grandmother—baked them for my grandmother, and so on. Sometimes I bake butterballs along with my mom, sometimes I just make my own batch, and often they find their way onto my sister-in-law’s cookie platter. Honestly, it just wouldn’t be Christmas without them. (Of course, because I don’t eat pecans, we almost always leave them out, or I sometimes swap out the pecans for finely chopped toasted almonds. Walnuts will work too for those of you who like them!)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A simple mixture of butter, flour, powdered sugar, and nuts, plus a little salt and vanilla, is all you need to create these memorable little cakes. But the true beauty of these whatever-you-call-them cookies happens when they are still warm from the oven, and are swathed in a coating of powdered sugar which melts in your mouth with each delicate bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This recipe, the original being a handwritten recipe card in my mother’s handwriting, has been passed down through a few generations of women in my family. I’ve no idea where it came from, but it’s been slightly updated throughout the years. I hope you enjoy it for generations to come!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123222\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new.jpg\" alt=\"Mom’s Pecan Butter Balls are ready to serve.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123222\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mom’s Pecan Butter Balls are ready to serve. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Mom’s Pecan Butter Balls\n\u003ch2>\n\u003c/h2>\u003c/h2>\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 22 cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 cup (8 oz) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup powdered sugar, sifted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup (2 oz) chopped toasted pecans (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123262\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new.jpg\" alt=\"Sift 1 cup powdered sugar.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123262\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sift 1 cup powdered sugar. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Preheat the oven to 300F.

And her mother--my grandmother--baked them before her, and quite possibly her mother—my great-grandmother—baked them for my grandmother, and so on. Sometimes I bake butterballs along with my mom, sometimes I just make my own batch, and often they find their way onto my sister-in-law’s cookie platter. Honestly, it just wouldn’t be Christmas without them. (Of course, because I don’t eat pecans, we almost always leave them out, or I sometimes swap out the pecans for finely chopped toasted almonds. Walnuts will work too for those of you who like them!)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A simple mixture of butter, flour, powdered sugar, and nuts, plus a little salt and vanilla, is all you need to create these memorable little cakes. But the true beauty of these whatever-you-call-them cookies happens when they are still warm from the oven, and are swathed in a coating of powdered sugar which melts in your mouth with each delicate bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This recipe, the original being a handwritten recipe card in my mother’s handwriting, has been passed down through a few generations of women in my family. I’ve no idea where it came from, but it’s been slightly updated throughout the years. I hope you enjoy it for generations to come!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123222\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new.jpg\" alt=\"Mom’s Pecan Butter Balls are ready to serve.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123222\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_5174-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mom’s Pecan Butter Balls are ready to serve. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Mom’s Pecan Butter Balls\n\u003ch2>\n\u003c/h2>\u003c/h2>\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 22 cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 cup (8 oz) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup powdered sugar, sifted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup (2 oz) chopped toasted pecans (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123262\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new.jpg\" alt=\"Sift 1 cup powdered sugar.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123262\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_4819-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sift 1 cup powdered sugar. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Preheat the oven to 300F.

Plenty of ginger gives them a little bite and dark molasses and dark brown sugar add sweetness with lots of flavor. (If you like a little more spiciness, add 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with any dough that you roll out and cut into shapes, be sure to chill it until cold so it’s easier to roll and transfer the shapes to the baking sheets.

You can decorate them before baking by pressing small candies, raisins or dried currants, or mini chocolate chips into the dough or sprinkle them with sparkle sugar. Or just leave them plain and make the royal icing in the recipe.
