Gingersnaps just SCREAM Holiday to me! Now don’t get me wrong, I love good Gingersnaps all year round (and wish that I had better luck creating my own snappy-gingersnap). But there is just something amazing about a molassesy, gingery cookie in the winter which makes …
Happy November & Day-After Halloween! Halloween is over, but your candy stash is not! Right after Halloween you can get great deals on candy for all of your baking needs. These cookies would also be perfect for using up some of your extra trick-or-treating candy …
“OMG it’s like a ball of heaven in my mouth” is how these cookies were described by their recipient
No matter how old you are, we can pretty much assume that you still like to get mail and that you still like cookies. So when my [future] brother-in-law D had a birthday last week I decided to combine those loves and send him some cookies. D’s favorite cookie is Snickerdoodle (we have talked about this before: muffins, dips, & I am sure more to come throughout the years) Now mind you, the sending of these cookies was after I had sent him a link to the very same cookies a few weeks before to congratulate him on his new job.

You can even take the Peanut Butter to the next level by using the individual Reese’s Cups in these (both Rich & Mom preferred the Reese’s version) but make sure you roll your balls on the larger size to be able to fit that cup. I bet that you could make these ‘gourmet’ by using the Dark Chocolate Kisses too!
