Here is it the first day of December already and I am trying to get into the Christmas spirit. Since I woke up this morning all I could think about is starting my holiday baking. After a trip to the grocery store, I decided to try some Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Cookies. They came out very good. I have a feeling that Santa just might like these holiday cookies.
I used my Gingerbread Spice Mix and the zest of an orange. The flavors are not too strong, but you definitely get a hint of the gingerbread spice and the freshness of the orange zest. OK, these cookies worked their magic and the Christmas spirit is starting to kick in a bit.
