Are Gingerbread Hard

Gingerbread biscuits can be hard or soft, so if you want to make decorations, you’ll need a recipe that will set hard and be very dry.

What consistency should gingerbread be?

“It’s all about consistency,” Stewart says about making the perfect dough. “If it’s too wet it won’t roll out nicely and it’ll spread during baking. If it’s too dry it’ll crumble while you’re rolling it out and crack during baking.”

Why are my gingerbread soft?

Baking at too high of a heat. Since the primary sweeteners in gingerbread cookies are molasses and brown sugar, they can actually burn a lot faster than cookies made with refined white sugar. To ensure even cooking, with crisp edges and soft centers, bake at a lower heat.
