Sweet Striped Gingerbread Cookies

Sweet Striped Ginger Cookies

These cookies are three things:

delicious
easy
fun

If you're like me, and enjoy the traditional snap of gingerbread cookies but, have young kids or family members who don't, these are a perfect blend! By twisting sugar cookie dough and gingerbread dough, you create a sweet, snappy cookie that is as much a treat for the eyes as it is the palate.

These are a perfect cookie to make with your kids because they are so easy and fun to make. These are a beautiful, tasty addition to any Christmas or Holiday treats basket.

1 (16 1/2 oz) package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 (16 1/2 oz) package of refrigerated gingerbread cookie dough
4 Tbsp flour, divided

With these cookies, as with all cooking with kids it isn't about a perfect product, it's about the memories, the experience and the time spent together.

So get cooking and Happy Holiday Memories!
