Soft Gingerbread Cookies Recipe
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.

You can get as creative as you want with the drizzle, too, so this would be a perfect baking activity to do with the kids.
