Gingerbread is our favorite way of baking with sugar and spice. Brimming with cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon and sweetened with the richness of molasses, it’s an indisputable holiday tradition. We’re making the most of this classic holiday cookie by revamping it into molasses- and spice-forward recipes for your baking repertoire. From our simple yet festive One-Layer Gingerbread Cake to our sparkling gingerbread chai-spiced cookies, these recipes will become your most indulgent holiday traditions yet.
Gingerbread Pecan Wreath – This Gingerbread Pecan Wreath is a delightful and aromatic dessert that fills the air with scents of cinnamon, ginger, and molasses and embodies the essence of the holidays. The wreath is finished off with a drizzle of cream cheese glaze and a dusting of confectioner’s sugar, resembling freshly fallen snow, making it an inviting addition to any festive table.
Iced Gingerbread Cutout Cookies – Is there a more classic holiday cookie than the gingerbread cutout cookie decorated with icing? With the quintessential blend of warm spices and a spritz of lemon zest to brighten the flavor, these cookies might become your new go-to.
Gingerbread Bundt – This decorative Bundt takes all of the beloved spices of a gingerbread cookie and incorporates them into a delightfully rich and dense pound cake. Topped with a vanilla glaze and baked in the Let It Snow Bundt Pan, this stunning cake is sure to get everyone in the holiday spirit!
Gingerbread Dutch Baby Pancake – Classic Dutch baby pancakes are like the decadent hybrid of a popover and a pancake. The batter comes together in a blender—no stand mixer required—and then gets baked in a piping-hot buttered skillet. We finished it all off with a dollop of lemony whipped cream, maple syrup, and a scattering of ruby red pomegranate arils.
Double Gingerbread Scones – Our Double Gingerbread Scones earn their double gingerbread title from the twofold dose of ground and candied ginger in the dough. We also added old-fashioned oats to these Double Gingerbread Scones to make your winter morning breakfast a little heartier.
Gingerbread Cookie Cheesecake Bars – We’re big fans of an ambitious holiday crossover, and these Gingerbread Cookie Cheesecake Bars are just that. An indulgent layer of cheesecake filling is sandwiched between chewy, delicately spiced gingerbread dough. It’s a simple formula, but when that molasses-rich gingerbread meets that vanilla-scented cheesecake, you’ll get flavor fireworks.
One-Layer Gingerbread Cake – A generous portion of minced fresh ginger is folded directly into the cake batter of this stunner. Swoopy Meringue Frosting gives it the whimsical appearance of a snowcapped mountain. Don’t miss our recipe for this gingerbread ski chalet topper!
Pomegranate-Molasses Gingerbread Cake – Melding the warm spices of gingerbread with the tart power of Pomegranate Molasses, our one-layer cake is a sophisticated spin on a holiday favorite. A final luxurious coat of vanilla frosting rounds out this simple stunner.
Gingerbread Pear Loaves – With their elegant tapering necks and firm texture, whole Bosc pears baked into this rustic loaf elevate its look and taste.
