Soft Gingerbread Cookies

What’s the key to these six-ingredient soft gingerbread cookies? Spice cake mix. Perfect for last-minute holiday baking and gift-giving, these pillowy cookies are almost too easy to throw together on a whim. If you’re craving a more intense flavor, you can always increase the ginger to two teaspoons—but be aware that most store-bought spice cake mixes already pack a pretty strong punch.

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) package spice cake mix, Duncan Hines® Perfectly Moist Spice Cake Mix
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup molasses

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Whisk together cake mix, ginger, and cloves. Stir egg, oil, and molasses into the cake mix mixture until combined.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough about two inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
