‘Tis the Season for everything that is holiday related and for me the smell of gingerbread baking resonates with Christmas. I do not like rolling out gingerbread to make cut out cookies at times, because it definitely is more time consuming. So what to do when you want gingerbread but do not want the hassle of rolling cutting and baking?

These iced chocolate chip gingerbread cookies are just the ticket. They are soft and chewy and will be an excellent addition to the cookie tray and holiday gift giving this year.
