How to Make Christmas Gingerbread Cookies

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then in a large bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.

Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla and blend well. I prefer to use a KitchenAid mixer for making cookies. A mixer combines much better than doing everything by hand. But of course, use whatever you have.

In another bowl, combine the flour, soda, salt, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Stir this into the sugar mixture until well combined. Do you see how good this looks already? Finger licking good 😉

Roll dough into about 1 ½ inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Dip a glass into the extra sugar and press each cookie until flattened just slightly. Bake for 8-10 minutes, remove and cool completely.

Melt the chocolate per package directions and dip half of each cookie into the chocolate and lay back on the baking sheet. Place 2 little holly leaves and 3 red holly balls onto the chocolate.

Let the cookies sit until the chocolate hardens.
