    Gingerbread Snickerdoodles - a classic cookie gets a holiday makeover!

    Gingerbread Snickerdoodles

    My Husband's favorite cookies (aside from chocolate chip) are Snickerdoodles. Probably because he also loves sugar cookies. The cinnamon sugar coating of Snickerdoodles is his favorite part. But he is not a fan of gingerbread! He doesn't like the smell or the taste of it.

    Yet I decided to make Gingerbread Snickerdoodles. Just a little makeover of the classic. Maybe just my attempt to show him that gingerbread is delicious? 🙂 Especially deceivingly dressed up as his favorite cookie. 🙂

    Gingerbread Snickerdoodles Recipe

    I happen to love gingerbread! There is no holiday baking with out making gingerbread in some form of a cake or cookies. I love love molasses and the deep flavor and sweetness it adds to these cookies. These Chewy Molasses cookies from last year are still one of my favorite!

      You say to add cream with the sugar, but cream is not mentioned in the ingredients. How much cream should be used in this recipe?

      Thank you
