For a more intense gingerbread flavor, consider adding up to 2 teaspoons of ground ginger. However, taste the batter first, as some spice cake mixes are already quite potent.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their soft texture.
A light dusting of powdered sugar after cooling adds a festive touch.
For extra flavor, try using brown butter instead of vegetable oil. Allow the browned butter to cool slightly before adding it to the mixture
