It is that time of year again…it is holiday cookie time! I am pretty sure from now until December 26th, I pretty much live off of cookies. Cookies and the holidays just go hand in hand in my opinion.
This year I thought I would do something called the 12 Days of Holiday Gift Giving. I love to give homemade gifts and what better gift is there than gifts you can eat. I am kicking off these 12 Days of Holiday Gift Giving with these ginger molasses cookies. They are always a huge hit when I make them and I promise you will fall head over heals with these delicious treats when you try them.
