Gingerbread recipes to spice up the holidays
We have nine gingerbread recipes you'll want to sink your teeth into during the holiday season, from waffles to a latte to cozy cupcakes to snappy cookies.
We're sure there will be at least one batch of gingerbread cookies baked at home this holiday, but why stop there? There's plenty of room on the menu for other gingerbread desserts to spice up the season. We've got you covered with the obligatory cookies, all the way through to a Bundt cake, waffles, a trifle, and more.
1. Gingerbread Waffles Recipe
Holiday-ify your brunch table this Christmas with gingerbread-spiced waffles; they might just be the easiest gingerbread recipe you'll make all holiday season. (And they come together in 35 minutes.)
2. Gingerbread Cupcakes
Sure, you're planning to make a batch of cookies this holiday season, but there's plenty of room for more gingerbread desserts! Try these moist spiced cupcakes topped with brown butter buttercream and a cute gingerbread cookie.
3. Gingerbread Bundt Cake
Tis the season to bake, and this cake is a no-brainer during the busy season. It's super fast to throw together (15 minutes prep time) and fills the house with that special ginger-cinnamon holiday scent while it bakes. Drizzle with caramel sauce or dust with icing sugar before serving.
4. Holiday Gingerbread Cookies
Soft, chewy gingerbread perfect for dipping into a mug of hot cocoa. Tip: Gingerbread cookie dough freezes well, so you can make a double batch and bake half at the start of the season and still have enough left over to make a quick batch for Santa for Christmas Eve.
5. Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
Don't take your eyes off these chewy cookies. They're irresistible; in fact, you better make two batches-just in case.
6. Microwave Gingerbread Fudge
A giftable goody you can take to holiday parties as a homemade host gift. Just line a box with parchment paper, fill with fudge squares and wrap in ribbon. You'll be the toast of party season!
7. Ginger Snaps Recipe
Snappy cookies you can dunk in a cold glass of milk. Decorate with royal icing for an elegant look or spread out for the kids with bowls of coloured icing and let them channel their inner artist. Find out how easy it can be to decorate gingerbread cookies here.
8. Gingerbread Almond Latte
If the sweets and treats are a little too much, add some holiday magic to your morning latte instead! This Gingerbread Almond Latte is cozy, warming, and perfect for the holiday season.
