The Best Gingerbread Recipes – My List

Here it is – my list of gingerbread recipes I’ve tested and collected over the years! I’m such a fan of the spicy flavor that I will make gingerbread-flavored goodies all year round. (I share the gingerbread house my family makes each Halloween season, proving gingerbread is fit for all seasons!

I hope you find a new favorite recipe on this list, and please let me know which ones you try and love!

Baking & Decorating Cookies

These are my go-to gingerbread cookie recipes, including the classic soft cookie along with recipes for special diets — vegan and gluten-free — and deliciously filled version, too!

And if you are a fan of decorating cookies, then you’ll definitely want to check out the icing recipes and ideas.

Make & Decorate Gingerbread Houses

If you follow me on social media, then you probably already know how much I adore making gingerbread houses. It’s become an annual family tradition, and we don’t limit it to the Christmas season as you can see in the recipes below!

Fun Food Gifts

I firmly believe nothing shows love more than a handmade gift, and since food is my jam (ha!) I like to gift special homemade foods.

This wreath is a traditional gift that I make each year because there’s always someone that I know will just love it, and the syrup is a long-lasting gift that can last the entire holiday season!

Other Yummy Gingerbread Recipes

Believe it or not, gingerbread is not all about the cookies (but it’s a LOT about the cookies! 😂). Since I like the flavor profile of the gingerbread spices, I have a few other types of goodies I like to make, too.
