    Gingerbread Sugar Cookies

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Sugar cookies meet Gingerbread Cookies in these festive Gingerbread Sugar Cookies perfect for giving as a gift or for Christmas parties.

    Welcome to Day #2 of Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen from Juanita's Cocina! Each day we will be celebrating the holidays with a different set of Christmas-themed treats, as well as a fabulous Christmas giveaway. We hope you enjoy this fabulous event. Tune in each day starting Monday, December 9th and ending Saturday, December 14th,2013.

    Last month I made a Caramelized Onion and Gingerbread Spice Butter that was amazing! The recipe for the Gingerbread Spice* came from Food.com and I made the whole amount, so I still have a lot of it left. I thought the spice mixture would be perfect in sugar cookies, basically a gingerbread cookie only sweeter! What could be better?! Sprinkle with colored sugar for a festive look, pack them up and give them to your neighbors, family, friends, anyone you like!

    After you check out the recipe for the Gingerbread Sugar Cookies, be sure to scroll down and enter today's giveaway and check out all the other recipe's, there are so many great things being shared this week, it might be the BEST WEEK EVER!! 

    I adapted these cookies from foodnetwork.com Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour

    • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg mixture. In another bowl combine the flour, gingerbread spice mixture, baking powder, and salt, stir well.

      Funny - I was looking for a gingerbread sugar cookie recipe, and I think I just found it. Everything in December is better with gingerbread.
