I have a new favorite cookie to add to your Christmas collection:ย Soft and Chewy Gingersnap Cookies with Lemon Buttercream Frosting!
With just a few minor alterations, this gingersnap cookie recipe is a family favorite on my husbands side since 1979. ย The first time I made the original recipe, I had no idea it made 6 dozen cookies! (donโt worry, this makes 3 dozen). ย I had gingersnap cookies for every neighbor in site. ย I brought a healthy stack ofย cookies to my dad and after he devoured the entire generous offeringย admitted, โI usually donโt even like gingersnap cookies.โ
But these just arenโt any gingersnap cookies. ย These cookies are mega soft and chewy and if you arenโt going to frost them with the amazing frosting, then they get rolled in cinnamon and sugar that crystallizes as they bake to create snickerdoodle gingersnap cookies. ย Either way, its a win-win.
Theย bright, sweet, citrus lemon frosting is positively addicting and perfectly complimentsย the deeplyย rich, molasses cookies with a slight ginger zing and spice of cinnamon, and cloves. ย Its a match made in heaven. ย And soon youโll be in heaven, full of foodie joy once you make and devour these Soft and Chewy Gingersnap Cookies with Lemon Buttercream Frosting.
The perfect holiday giftโฆto yourself.
