There is no christmas without cookies. Any kind of cookies, basic chocolate chip or peanut butter or these amazing crispy ginger cookies.
Let’s spend a minute to celebrate that it’s christmaaaaaaaaaas time, the most wonderful time of the year!! This is really my favourite part of the year. I live for Christmas!!! I start feeling the christmas vibe around August! And finally it’s fully christmas time in our house. My family is kind of loves christmas, so our house always looks a little bit like a Christmas extravaganza. Christmas CHRISTMAS yaaaaay!! Okay Christmas celebrating time is over.
So this recipe came form Pepperoni. She makes it for us all the time. So thank you P.! You are the queen of these cookies.
These cookies are meant to be thin and crispy. I made them for the first time and as you can see I didn’t spread them enough so they turned a little bit more cakey and less crisp and thin! So make sure you push them down more than I did so they will be more thinner.
But we shouldn’t waste more time with my little mistake because the flavour of these cookies are sooooo perfect. They are spicy, gingery (does this word even exist?? ). My favourite part is the crispy top which is sprinkled with brown sugar.
Let’s make some instant Christmas cookies!
P.S.: I am going to upload 2 recipes every week until Christmas! So get ready for a Christmas extravaganza!
