Gingerbread Sprinkle Cookies are chewy, with a slight crunch from the sprinkles.
This beautifully dark, molasses, ginger-and-spice flavored cookie is the perfect holiday cookie. A fave at our house!
Today I brought these Gingerbread Sprinkle Cookies.
They are one of our favorite holiday cookie recipes, not just because they taste incredible, but they are look great too!
These cookies are perfect for your cookie platter, and were inspired by my Halloween Sprinkle Cookies.
Also, the cookies look really nice nestled with these Chocolate Dipped Spice Cookies, which are a favorite too!
