I love, love, love this time of the year, and all the cookies, cakes, turkey, ham you named it, it is just a delicious moment to be coking and baking.
And of course this month #CreativeCookieExchange theme is all about ginger. It is the second favorite ingredients, besides pumpkin puree.
We all love to baked and cook with this seasonal ingredients, and today I made this different kind of ginger cookie, it is like cookie and cake in one, and my daughter said you can dip then in chocolate for even more decadent flavor.
They have a rich flavor of ginger and a tanginess from the sour cream, this is just perfect to change up the traditional ginger cookies, and pack this holiday with this different and delicious Ginger Sour Cream Cookies.
Enjoy.
