11 Martha’s Vineyard Christmas Cookie Recipes From Elite Summer Kitchens

Classic Vineyard Ginger Cookies

Martha’s Vineyard Classic Ginger Cookies are a delightful treat that captures the essence of the holiday season. These chewy, spiced cookies are filled with rich flavors of ginger, cinnamon, and molasses, making them a perfect addition to your festive holiday platter. They are not only delicious to eat but also easy to make, bringing warmth and joy to your kitchen during Christmas.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that the cookies will bake evenly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Set this mixture aside as it will create the flavor base for the cookies.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This process typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Egg and Molasses: Beat in the egg and molasses into the butter-sugar mixture until fully combined. Make sure there are no streaks of molasses or egg visible.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients mix to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing, which can make the cookies tough.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking and enhances the flavors.
7. Prepare to Bake: Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat them lightly.
8. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sugared cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking.
9. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They will continue to firm up while cooling.
10. Cool Down: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, the cookies are ready to be enjoyed. They can be stored in an airtight container for several days, making them perfect for sharing with family and friends throughout the holiday season.

These Classic Vineyard Ginger Cookies are sure to bring holiday cheer to any gathering with their warm and spiced flavor!
