My Chocolate Christmas Crinkle Cookies

A couple of week ago, I tried to make chocolate crinkle cookies, but the recipe I developed was too buttery, so when I baked them the sugar melted into a sort of icing.  I fixed the problem by using sprinkles instead, but I was determined to come up with a classic crinkle cookie that worked.

These Spiced Ginger Crinkle Cookies were totally worth the wait!

They are delightfully soft and chewy with those nicely crisp edges, but if you’d like more of a crisp throughout ginger cookie just bake them a few minutes longer than what is in the recipe.

Whether you are baking for a Christmas party or you’re you are looking for that perfect, festive treat to make for your friends and neighbors, I highly highly recommend trying these wonderful cookies!

These are so good and they are definitely a cookie people of all ages will love. The dough is really easy to work with and doesn’t to chill chill over night. And the scent in the kitchen when baking them is like gingerbread heaven!
