I couldn’t let the holidays pass by without sharing at least one cookie recipe, could I?
I’m sure you’ve already got your fill of holiday cookies, but today’s treat is bound to surpass them. I promise!
But, before we get to the sweet stuff, how is your December going?
We are finished with our shopping, mostly wrapped (thanks to the hubster, because I look like a 5 year old handled the gifts), and have been up to our eyeballs in holiday movies, candies, and festivities. And that’s the way I like it!
Speaking of movies, what are you favorite ones come the holidays?
My tried and true favorites never get old, and it wouldn’t be Christmas without them! Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Prancer, Elf, and Home Alone (1 and 2) round out my top favorites. But, there’s about a dozen more I could add to this list, including those cheesy Hallmark and Lifetime movies!
Now, let’s get back to cookies! It just wouldn’t be Christmas without cookies, either, and I’m thinking you might just feel the same way. With cookie swaps becoming more popular and bake sales and parties galore this time of year, cookies are just about bursting out of my kitchen!
And today, I’m sharing a new favorite with you, and I think you’ll love them just as much as me!

Dark Chocolate Dipped Gingerbread Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 package Krusteaz Gingerbread Cookie Mix
- 1 egg
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup dark chocolate melting wafers or dark chocolate chips
- Holiday sprinkles for topping, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, add Krusteaz Gingerbread Cookie Mix, egg, and butter. Stir and/or use hands to knead until mixture forms a dough, may take several minutes.
- Drop 1 rounded tablespoon of dough onto prepared pan and spread cookies 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges of cookies are browned. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are completely cooled, add dark chocolate wafers/chips to a small bowl. Microwave on medium power for about 2 minutes to melt, stirring every 15 seconds so it doesn't burn.
- Working one cookie at a time, dip halfway into chocolate and then place onto parchment paper to set. Sprinkle tops of chocolate with holiday sprinkles.
Gingerbread cookies are a Christmas favourite! These look delicious and I love that they’re dipped in melted dark chocolate – I definitely need to try that when I bake my next batch of gingerbread!
