Gingerbread Waffles

Gingerbread Waffles

“Your family and guests will go crazy for these waffles! They're light, airy and slightly crisp on the outside. You really taste the ginger flavor, but it's less sweet than a piece of gingerbread. Great if you're having guests during the holidays. Use Virginia's suggestion and make them ahead of time. Come the morning, pop them in the toaster and breakfast is served in a flash.” - Debbie

“I threw it into the fridge to completely cool so I can frost it today. But of course, I had to sneak a little piece that stuck to the pan. I almost fell on the floor!!! This cake is so moist and so full of flavor, it is unreal! Some of those boxed cake mixes are overpowering with spices that blow you out of the water when you taste them. This does not at all, it is PERFECT! In fact, THIS is my birthday cake I will be making myself EVERY year!” - BOseland
Gingerbread- Grandma's

Gingerbread- Grandma's

“This gingerbread is bursting with Christmas spices. It's moist and delicate, but not fluffy like a muffin. These little gems will be great in the morning while sipping on coffee. Or, serve with a dollop of whipped cream and it's a delicious dessert. This is a great old-fashioned recipe that proves sometimes the old way of doing things is the best. Bake a batch and watch these disappear!” - Debbie

“This gingerbread cookie recipe has been in my family for a long time. I wanted to do something creative with it and add a 'few of my favorite things' so I decided to make these easy and cute cookie cups. Boy were they the talk of the party!

Adding a touch of mocha filling, whipped cream, and caramel plus a little salted pretzel on the side definitely qualifies this into the ranks of the tastiest cookie in Santa's toy shop! Kids love these cute little cookies too so be sure to make lots of them! Red and green sprinkles would add a festive touch!” - RozanneGooding
