BEST-EVER CHEWY GINGERBREAD COOKIES
Crisp gingerbread cookies have their place, of course, but sometimes, you want to soften them up a little bit, don't you? These tender cookies are the perfect fix for that craving, combining the classic spice flavors we all love and a chewy crumb that just about melts in your mouth. Making them from scratch allows for control in the texture, and these are calibrated to a just-right tenderness that we (and many others) find irresistible. And speaking of irresistible, we guarantee that the aroma coming from your kitchen as you bake these will make it the gathering place of the entire house. While that scent (and those flavors) are especially welcome when temperatures outside start to dip, these tender cookies are welcome at any time of year.

- On a plate put at least a 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Then roll the balls into the sugar.
- Bake at 350 on an ungreased cookie sheet (air-insulated type is the best) for 10 to 12 minutes.
Tips:
- To soften butter, let it sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
- If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it is no longer sticky.
- When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
- If the cookies are too thick, they will be chewy and not crispy. If they are too thin, they will be crispy and not chewy.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, but still slightly soft in the centre. This will help them stay chewy.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
