Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Cookies?!  This cookie is a must try if you have not already tried these cookies.  The unique flavor of molasses and dark chocolate chips (which I used for this recipe) is such a GREAT combination.

Which brings me too, growing up I did not like Gingerbread Cookies because it didn’t have chocolate in it.  In fact, it didn’t even taste good!  However when I started baking A LOT, I started to like Gingerbread Cookies only because I started eating them not only once a year, but more than a few times during the holidays!

I really love this season!  Not because of all the gifts that will be given or all the food that will be made or eaten, I love this season because there will be family get togethers!  I get to hang out with my family and close family friends whom I haven’t seen in ages.  There is so much laughter, great memories and of course good food.  These cookies will be a huge hit to share with the family and one bite of the cookies, will always bring back happy memories!
