I love the whole Christmas season…spending extra time with family and friends, last minute gift buying, baking special treats. All of the preparations leading to Christmas Day and the celebration of Jesus’ birth! I have decided to post a “Christmas” cookie everyday for the next twelve days. This will help me get my baking done and hopefully inspire you to try some fun new recipes too!! Most of these are favorites that I make from year to year with a couple of new ones thrown in as well. I hope you’ll enjoy them!!
Molasses Cookies can be made any time of the year but there is something about the warm smell of cloves and ginger that practically shouts that Christmas is just around the corner. These soft molasses cookies are especially flavorful. Their soft texture with just a hint of crunch from their sugar coated exterior puts them in a league of their own. Make these today!
