When I think of Christams I think of sugarplums and sugar and berries and SPICE!!

This cookie is a brainstorm of my youngest daughter's (my baby and true "mini me) creation....
What better way to celebrate the holiday's other than sugarplums and spice dancing on your taste buds!!!

You have the gingerbread, the "blueberries" aka *sugarplums*, the nuts (alway's for Christmas) then top with the most amazing lemon cream cheese frosting!!!

Man oh man, TRUE HOLIDAY TASTE!!!!

Enjoy!!
