Ginger Spice Cookies

I am wrapping up Christmas cookie week with a personal favorite recipe today. These Ginger Spice cookies what I think should be the official flavor of Christmas!

These ginger spice cookies are soft and chewy, and full of all those yummy spices we associate with the holidays.

Be sure to enter the raffle (US residents only) for a chance to win one of two prize packs! Thank you to our sponsors Millican Pecan Company, and Adams Extracts and Flavorings for providing prizes.

Isn’t funny how our tastes change over the years. As a child, whenever I was presented with a cookie tray I would always choose the most colorful, festive looking cookie. Like these empire cookies or sweet Marie bars.

Holiday Sweet Marie Bar Recipe

While I still love all those holiday favorites, these ginger spice cookies are what I pick first. Okay, maybe second behind the cherry chews!

It is hard not to feel in the holiday spirit when you bake up a batch of these cookies. As soon as the batter comes together, with the ginger, cinnamon and hint of nutmeg it smells like Christmas.

I wish I could bottle the scent of them baking in the oven! But, that very first bite of a still warm ginger spice cookie will have you hooked!

While Christmas Cookie Week may be coming to a close, Christmas baking is just starting to heat up at our house. With so many delicious cookies shared this week, it is going to be hard to decide which ones to add to this years baking list.

Adams Extract

Prize 2 – Adams Extract Prize Pack

Adams traces its beginnings back to Battle Creek, Michigan, when John A. Adams began making and selling his Green Plant Sarsaparilla extract, Adamur, in 1888. In 1905, he moved his family to Beeville, TX. At the time, most vanilla sold to pharmacies and was often labeled “Do not bake or freeze.” John A. Adams’ wife yearned for a flavoring that wouldn’t bake or freeze out. He announced that he could produce a better vanilla than the one his wife was currently using. Working with just $6.71 worth of materials on top of an old icebox, John A. Adams discovered the formula he wanted. To test this product, his wife whipped up a cake for the family to try. “John, this is the BEST flavoring I have ever used,” she announced. “Well, that’s old man Adams BEST,” he responded.
