Holiday Special: Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies Recipe


This chocolate gingerbread cookies recipe is a new take on the traditional gingerbread cookies. They have a rich chocolaty flavor and aren’t too sweet, making them perfect to decorate with colourful icing. These cookies are soft and chewy and pair well with a warm glass of milk but if you want the cookies to be harder, just bake them a little longer.
