Ginger Cookies Dipped in White Chocolate

I made this cookies a during the holidays.  It has taken a while for me to post about them.  They are really more appropriate for Christmas, but I am sure they would still be delicious for Valentine's Day.

What makes these really special are the cool star shaped sprinkles.  I still have at least half a bottle of these sprinkles.  I'll have to think of something special to make that would be improved with star shaped sprinkles.

Gingerbread Waffles with Cranberries and Toffee Bits

Another Christmas has come and gone.  How quickly this year has gone by!  I had a wonderful Christmas, and it isn't over yet.  My family is having one more Christmas party this Thursday.

We are having a French Canadian Christmas celebration.  We will be eating poutine, sugar pie, and meat pie.  The sugar pie is really just a custard inside of a pie shell.  I was worried it was going to be a sugar overload, but it sounds tasty.

Gingerbread Pancakes with Toffee Bits and Chocolate Chips

I just realized that my local library closes at 9pm Monday through Thursday.  I thought it closed at 6pm, which is about when I get back from work.

This knowledge is a game changer.  For months, I have planned my library visits on weekends or days I had off of work.

Gingerbread Pancakes with Carmel and Chocolate Chips

I have had an open jar of molasses in my cupboard since last Christmas.  I used that very jar to make these gingerbread pancakes.  I didn't feel ill after eating them so it seems molasses has a long shelf life.

This is as good a time as any to talk about molasses.  Molasses is also called black treacle.  Molasses sounds much more appetizing than black treacle.  Black treacle sounds like a kind of moss that grows in dark and damp places.

Gingerbread Muffins with Oatmeal Cookie Streusel and Chocolate Chips

Do you ever second guess yourself?  I do it all the time.  This weekend I went Christmas shopping, and after every purchase, I debated if I made the right choice.  

It doesn't matter if the decision is insignificant.  Deciding what type of hair gel or what to order at a restaurant is a tough decision for me.  

Gingerbread Pancakes

This is my first Christmas recipe of the season.  Christmas recipes include any type of cookie, foods with the gingerbread or eggnog, and party foods eaten with your hands.

Yesterday I decorated sugar cookies and drank hot cocoa in an apartment decorated with red and green stockings.  I also purchased some gifts on Amazon.  The Christmas season has started!
