One of my new favorite holiday cookies! These White Chocolate Drizzled Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies were one of the first to disappear, and will forever be made every year from here on out! I took them one step further this time, and gave them a double dose of chocolate! As if they weren’t rich and fudgey-decadent enough as they were already! These babies definitely aren’t your mama’s gingerbread cookies!
This is the second year in a row though, that I haven’t been able to find my pile of cookie cutters! I turned the house upside down last year, and again this year, with no luck in finding them!
SO frustrating! I probably put them in that “safe place” so I wouldn’t lose them….
You know…”that place”.
I suppose I’ll finally find them when I go to pack! Someday….
So I could only do two shapes…gingerbread men and stars. I had actually wanted to make all of them Christmas trees…but I guess that will have to wait until next year when I finally find buy new cookies cutters.
But these ended up so delicious, that the shapes didn’t matter anyways!
Lightly crispy on the outside, and very soft and tender inside! Not hard and crunchy all the way through like some!
And the dutch processed cocoa powder gave them the rich chocolate flavor that I was after! So chocolatey they truly were fudgey inside!!
Not overly spicy. Just right.
The epitome of a Christmas cookie!
And the white chocolate drizzle took them WAY over the top! Who doesn’t love extra chocolate, right?! The combination of the two chocolates has always been a favorite of mine, and when drizzled over a cookie filled with warm spices…it just doesn’t get any better!
I hope these not so traditional cookies make an appearance on your next cookie tray! And no need to wait until a holiday! Treat yourself to a batch soon with a cup of hot cocoa!! Cuz, baby it’s COLD outside!!
But you may want to hide a stash….just saying.
*This recipe can easily be halved. To use half of an egg, crack egg into a bowl, beat well, then use just half of it. (Use leftover beaten egg for breakfast!)

**Or, you can make a full batch, divide the dough in half, place a mound on a sheet of plastic wrap and press and shape it into a disk for easy rolling later, wrap it well, place it into a freezer bag, and freeze it for a later use.
