T minus 15 days till Christmas! Here today sharing another cookie, because cookies are life. This one is a mashup between two fantastic cookies: the gingersnap & snickerdoodle. It really packs a punch with ginger flavor! If you’re not into ginger, I challenge you to make this cookie. You just may be converted for life! The texture and chew of this cookie is phenomenal, and with a name like gingerdoodle, you’ll wanna add this to your cookie rotation!
As Christmas gets closer and closer, I look back on my life and I really am just so grateful. I’m grateful for my chosen career, my family, my amazing boyfriend, my goofy dog, my beautiful city, I could go on and on. This is truly the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. This past year has been truly exceptional. I’ve traveled and absolutely fell in love with Italy. I pushed myself way past my comfort zone and won 1st place in La Coupe d’Altamira. I ran with 3 lovely friends of mine in 3 separate 5k’s with plans to continue next year. I received the raise I asked for at work. I made health a priority and I stuck to my gym routine throughout the entire year (with the exception of a few tough weeks). I’ve made wonderful new contacts and friendships that I hope to keep for many years to come. I truly feel confident and content with my abilities as a pastry chef with the understanding that I will always be learning and growing in my field. This year has just made me excited for what is to come next year! My last cookie recipe (peppermint blossoms) was featured recently in our local Rocky Mountain Food Report! Click here to read!
