It’s the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies here at The Nerd’s Wife, where I’ll be sharing a dozen of my favorite holiday cookie recipes.
Ginger Snaps are a holiday staple and these taste just like they should.
Although, I’m not a huge fan of how molasses smells, so that kind of ruins these cookies for me. But The Nerd loved ’em!
