15 Rye Flour Christmas Cookie Recipes (Toasty & Complex)

Classic Rye Ginger Cookies

Classic Rye Ginger Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional ginger cookies, bringing a hearty texture and a unique flavor profile thanks to the use of rye flour. These cookies are perfect for the holiday season, offering a warm and spicy taste that’s certain to please everyone. With a crispy exterior and a chewy center, they capture the festive spirit beautifully and make excellent gifts when decorated.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will guarantee that your cookies bake evenly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the rye flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt. This mixture will be the foundation for your cookie dough.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Molasses and Egg: Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until all the ingredients are fully combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the dough light and airy.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step is important as it helps the flavors to meld and makes the dough easier to handle.
7. Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in sugar to coat them lightly.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and soft in the center.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy: Once cool, enjoy your Classic Rye Ginger Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or package them up to share with friends and family during the holiday season!

5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
6. Shape the Cookies: Using your hands, scoop out a portion of dough and roll it into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
7. Create Thumbprints: With your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, press a small indentation into the center of each cookie ball, creating a well for the jam or preserves.
8. Fill with Jam: Carefully spoon a small amount of jam or preserves into each indent, making sure not to overfill them.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
10. Cool Cookies: After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delightful Rye Flour Thumbprint Cookies!

Gingerbread Rye Cutouts

Gingerbread Rye Cutouts are a festive twist on the classic gingerbread cookie, utilizing rye flour to give these cutouts a unique flavor and hearty texture. They are perfect for holiday decorating, just like their traditional counterparts, and are deliciously spiced with ginger and warm spices, making them ideal for holiday gatherings. Whether you’re trimming them with icing or simply enjoying them as they are, these cookies bring a delightful warmth to the season.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to guarantee your cookies do not stick.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Molasses and Egg: Pour in the molasses and add the egg to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rye flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. This step helps to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agent throughout the flour.
5. Mix Ingredients Together: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too dry or crumbly, add a tablespoon of water to help it come together.
6. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out.
7. Roll Out Dough: Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness.
8. Cut Out Shapes: Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the rolled dough. Transfer the cutouts to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are firm and set.
10. Cool Cookies: After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
