Making The Most Spectacular Whole Wheat Gingerbread Cookies is one of our families favorite holiday baking tradition! We usually end up making a few batches of these Christmas Cookies throughout the holiday season to bring to holiday parties or to share with neighbors and friends.
They are simple to make and even Little Dude loves to join in and help make and decorate these delicious cookies. On Christmas Eve we make another batch just for Santa, and we decorate them special just for him! Check out the recipe below!
