More cookies. These cookies came about because I really wanted some gingerbread. It is Christmas time after all. But I also wanted some chocolate. You cannot go wrong with chocolate chips. After some back and forth with Mr. J I decided to add all of the classic gingerbread flavors to a chocolate chip cookie recipe to see what would happen. Happen it did and these masterpieces were born.
I thought those almond cookies were super good but these gingerbread chocolate chip cookies have won me over and are now a favorite. These are super quick cookies to put together so if you don't think you have enough time trust me you do. You won't regret the extra effort of another cookies once you take a bite.
