No. 1
Buttermilk Gingerbread Cookies
Buttermilk Gingerbread Cookie dough is easy to work with & you should expect a soft texture right from the refrigerator. Work in small batches to prevent excessive re-rolling of the dough. The acid in the buttermilk will aide in preventing a tough cookie. Place the dough back in the refrigerator for a few minutes if the dough becomes too warm. Roll each dough disc to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut shapes with cookie cutters. Place 1-inch apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Learn how to bake this holiday classic.
No. 2
Chocolate-Gingerbread Thumbprints
Chocolate-Gingerbread Thumbprints begin with the same base recipe found in Gingerbread Snowballs but that flavor & look is quite different. The option of preparing one dough that may be divided in half to make both versions is certainly a smart choice, if desired. Package these gems in bakery boxes or line them up on heirloom silver trays when entertaining during the holidays.
No. 3
Fresh Ginger-Molasses Cookies
Fresh Ginger-Molasses Cookies are a sophisticated cookie comparable to a crinkle cookie in texture with a mild spice flavor like a Biscoff. Serve them with coffee, egg nog & milk punch. These irresistible cookies may be baked ahead & stored in the freezer up to one month. Allow them to thaw at room temperature. Arrange the cookies on platter for parties or package several of them in cellophane bags & adorn them with ribbon for delicious, smart holiday gifts. Learn how to make these delightful cookies.
