Christmas Cookies Dessert Holiday & In Season Recipes

Gingerdoodle Cookies

If you’ve been around for a while, then you know I started Cookie Week last year to kick off the holiday baking season. Each day for 7 days I shared a new holiday cookie recipe. Here we are in 2021 and Cookie Week is back!

Before we jump into the recipe, I wanted to say THANK YOU for your support during my very first Cookie Week last year. These past two years have been very difficult for everyone around the world and I hope that holiday baking sparks a little bit of joy with you and your family this holiday season.

If you make any of these recipes, please feel free to tag me (@keriannbritt) and use hashtag #brunchwiththebrittains on social media so that I can see your wonderful creations!

Today I am sharing the first cookie recipe of Brunch With The Brittains Cookie Week 2021 which happens to be my favorite – Gingerdoodles!

 

When game planning Cookie Week recipe development, I knew I wanted to create a recipe that married two classic holiday cookies together. If a Snickerdoodle and a Gingerbread Cookie had a baby.. these Gingerdoodles are it.

I love a good Snickerdoodle, but I may never make one again, because I am now Team Gingerdoodle. The combination is irresistible

You get the taste of a Gingerbread cookie from the spices and molasses, but with the classic cinnamon sugar coating of a Snickerdoodle.

Be sure you add these soft, chewy and festive cookies to your baking list this holiday season!
