Just in time for all your fall parties and Thanksgiving. You can make the dip ahead of time and refrigerate it, and make the gingersnap cookies fresh. These recipes, when used together, will get loads of compliments. Enjoy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Both the gingersnap cookies and the pumpkin dip are Blue Ribbon-worthy alone. Together, they are fantastic! The cookie is full of ginger spice. It's similar to a chewy molasses cookie. The pumpkin dip is similar in taste to a pumpkin cheesecake - sweet, smooth, and full of pumpkin spice. You can use the pumpkin dip for other cookies too. Try dipping sugar cookies or chocolate sandwich cookies. Yum! This will be a beautiful addition to a dessert table during the holidays.
