Gingery Ginger Snap Cookies. Full of ginger, crinkled to perfection and coated in sanding sugar. If ever there was a holiday cookie this is it!
I’m a true lover of Christmas but this year its like times 10. Im sure my daughters enthusiasm is contagious so we got the tree up, are listening to christmas music and I am all about the holidays in my baking. Which is where these Gingery Ginger Snap Cookies come in. If ever there was a cookie that tasted like the holidays this is it!! Warm spices, molasses, double ginger (gah!!) and a fabulous crusting of sugar crystals. Just look at these, is there anything better than that crinkle we’ve got going on?
I think the pics speak for themselves here guys so I am going to leave you to it and all the wonderful things you are doing to prepare for your perfect holiday! Make sure these cookies are on the list.
Enjoy!
