One of my mom and grandma's specialties during the holidays is the chocolate crackle cookie. These cookies have such a place in my heart because I've had them every single Christmas for my entire life. I also think they're delicious and so pretty with the powdered sugar crackled-coating.
I wondered what would happen if I did spice cookie that had that same crackle effect. Would they be as pretty" Taste as good"
Winner winner chicken dinner. They totally do.
All the beauty of a crackle cookie with all the holiday cheer of spices like cinnamon, ginger and cloves. These are soft and tender with just the slightest crunch around the edges. Really and truly one of the best spice cookies I've ever had.
You won't be sorry if these make it on your cookie platter this year. They're beautiful AND tasty. Here's a quick rundown of my 12 Days of Cookies so far:

Day 1: Shortcut Salted Caramel Pretzel Bars
