I’m so excited to be sharing this fun Christmas twist on one of my all-time favorite cookies. I shared this recipe back in February, but it’s definitely worth sharing again! You can check out our valentine’s version here. Scroll down to find the recipe, along with some step by step images + a short and sweet video tutorial on how to create the snowflakes. Enjoy!
Ginger Crinkle Snowflake Cookies
2 ¼ cups butter
2 ¼ cups sugar
2 ¼ cups butter
2 ¼ cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup molasses
¾ tsp salt
5 ½ tsp baking soda
2 ½ tsp cloves
2 ½ tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
6 cups flour
Mix together all ingredients. Chill dough. Roll into balls and dip top half in sugar. For a flatter cookie, use the bottom of a cup to tap down each cookie slightly before baking.
I used a Vollrath 47157
cookie scoop to keep all my cookies the same size + shape. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Don’t overcook, you want them moist and chewy. Allow to cool.

To add snowflakes simply melt white chocolate wafers carefully in the microwave. Place melted chocolate in a regular ziplok baggie. Cut a tiny hole cut out of one corner of the baggie and use it to draw a snowflake on the top of each cookie. Here’s a quick video to show you how to make them:
This recipe makes a huge batch, but they freeze really well, so they’re perfect for making ahead. We’ve got our cookies all made and will be giving them out to the kids teachers for Christmas. Yay for getting one more thing crossed off the holiday to-do list!
To package the cookies I used some 4 X 9-Inch inch cellophane bags and attached these cute printable gift tags.

I make these cookies all of the time, but never thought to put a snowflake on them. SO CUTE! I’ll be doing this for a fun snack in January. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!
P.S. Have you ever rolled them in Sugar in the Raw? It gives them a bit more crunch on the outside. I use it all the time.
