Home for the Holidays: Gingerbread Recipes to Please Any Holiday Guest

Recipes

Nov 1

The holidays are a magical time of year and the smell of gingerbread baking is one sure way to get me into the holiday spirit. It just smells like Christmas doesn’t it? And making cookies is such a fun holiday tradition for kids and adults alike. Everyone can get involved and take part in the process…though the eating part is by far my favourite!

So recently my team and I decided to have a casual workday at my home where we all wore super cozy Christmas jammies and baked gingerbread cookies together. The idea was awesome and we had an absolute blast doing it. The cookies themselves though left a little to be desired. In our defense I’m not even sure where we got our recipe from and we may have been distracted chit chatting about the holidays, snuggling our cute little guest and playing with Gucci.

So take it from some people who are better equipped at this than we are and try these recipes that are sure to please any guest that could be coming to your holiday treat table.

These classic Gingerbread Men Cookies from Sally’s Baking Addiction are her favourite gingerbread cookies and she said the recipe has been loved by millions, so it has to be good!

Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? A twist on the classic, these Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies from Baker by Nature will have everyone coming back for more.

Healthy Vegan and Paleo Gingerbread Cookies from Detoxinista allows those with allergies and other dietary preferences a treat to enjoy.

Gingerbread Cookie Bars with White Chocolate Chips from Celebrating Sweets and Gingerbread Cookie Bark from Something Swanky are fun takes on the original to take your gingerbread recipe skills up a notch.
