Recipe Adventure: Classic Ginger Snap Cookies

Christmas is almost here and I like to spend my down time baking delicious things. My favorite cookie has to be a classic ginger snap. Nothing says Christmas like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove. My recipe is seriously simple and seriously good. The secret? I use fresh ginger! Using fresh ginger adds to the flavor and keeps the cookies moist. Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the center, they are to die for.

Free Printable Christmas Gift Tags

6 Comments

Christmas is just around the corner and I thought I’d make your life a little easier by providing free printable Christmas gift tags. They’re the perfect little addition to gifts for friends and family. These will not only save you time, but they’ll also save you money, while making your gifts extra pretty.

They’re placed on a standard 8.5″x11″ letter size sheet for easy at home printing. I suggest printing them on card stock to make them a bit thicker. Just cut along the outlines and use a one-hole punch to make holes to attach some string or ribbon.
