These magical snowflake gingerbread stamped cookies sparkle on their own with no decorations needed! Simply roll dough into balls, press on a baking sheet and bake. Add a simple glaze if desired a beautiful wintery treat. Perfect for holiday parties, baking gatherings or gift giving!
Cookies:
- 3 3/4 cups flour
- 1 Tbsp cocoa
- 1 Tbsp ginger
- 2 tsp ground cloves
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup molasses
- – sugar for rolling
Vanilla Glaze (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1/8 tsp vanilla
Sift together flour, cocoa, spices and salt in medium mixing bowl and set aside. In mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and creamy. Scrape sides of mixer and add the egg. Mix thoroughly. Add molasses and blend. Scrape again and with mixer on low add flour mixture and blend thoroughly. Refrigerate for about 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Roll dough into golf ball sized balls and then roll in sugar before placing on cookie sheet. Press with stamps until you begin to see dough coming out on edges. Bake for 10-14 minutes. Repeat until all dough is used and place baked cookies on a cooling rack over a sheet pan to cool. Makes about 1½ dozen cookies.
If a glaze is desired, prepare glaze while cookies are baking. Whisk together powdered sugar, water and vanilla until desired consistency is reached. While the cookies are still slightly warm, brush a light coat of glaze on the top of cookies, evenly covering the designs, as desired.

This cookie was very good and easy to make. The glaze made the design from the cookie stamp stand out. I put these cookies on a cookie tray and got compliments. The spices are perfect.

I received the snowflake cookie stamps for my birthday from my daughter. I made them this afternoon. They are delicious! I used the glaze to make them even better. A new favorite!

This is the recipe that was on the box of cookie stamps. Being in the UK we adapted it from cups to grams and only changed the spice used. We opted for just mixed spice. The cookies stamped out really well and didn’t spread upon baking so kept the design. We really enjoyed them and will definitely make them again. Really pretty especially decorated with a little icing to pick out the snowflake shape. Wonderful product.

I absolutely love this recipe. They are soft, delicious and full of spice. The recipe works perfectly with the stamps – the result is beautiful delicious cookies. The second time I made it I added the zest of an orange to the dough and the juice of an orange to the glaze on top of the cookie. They were wonderful.

I think it’s a really good recipe, I prefer put less clove ground, it’s too much for me I can’t appreciate the cinnamon or ginger with 3 tsp of clove. But maybe it’s because our taste is different, besides that I think it’s great.
