Gingerbread Cookie Sticks

This is the BEST gingerbread cookie recipe and my absolute favorite. It bakes in a sheet pan and is sliced while it's still warm. Top it with your favorite candy, like Twix, or drizzle it with white chocolate and sprinkles!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups (492g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter , softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (237ml) unsulfured molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips plus 1 teaspoon Crisco or vegetable oil to aid in melting and sprinkles OR
  • 24 fun size Twix or your favorite candy

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10x15 jelly roll pan with foil (let the foil hang over the sides for easy removal of the hot bars) and spray with cooking spray. (If you don’t have a jelly roll pan you can use a rimmed cookie sheet that’s close to 10x15” in size, but opt bigger instead of smaller.)
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Set aside.
  • Beat sugar, butter, and molasses in the large bowl with a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix in the egg, salt, baking soda, and spices. Slowly mix in dry ingredients until a thick dough forms.
  • Press dough evenly into the prepared pan. Bake about 15 minutes, until indentations in the dough bounce back slightly. The top will no longer be glossy.
  • Cool gingerbread for 5 minutes in the pan, then carefully remove the full sheet of gingerbread using the foil overhang to a cookie sheet. If you’re using the fun size Twix bars, press them in two equal rows onto the gingerbread, use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the slab into 24 sticks. Otherwise, just cut them into sticks and cool.
  • If drizzling with white chocolate, melt the white chocolate chips and oil or Crisco in a small bowl on half power in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Place chocolate in a small baggie with the tip cut off and drizzle over sticks, sprinkle with sprinkles.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to one month.
