Only a Hutch girl will understand the title of this post, but it does pertain to what I have been doing for the past 48 hours off of work. Working on our homemade Christmas gifts to friends! We may not have a Christmas card this year, but we do have cookies to deliver. And I really need to get on the ball and start giving them to friends so that I will no longer have to stare at the tempting stash of calories that I have "hidden" from myself on a very tall shelf that I can't reach in our kitchen. I have been plotting what "we" would make for our homemade Christmas gift for months. I always enjoyed helping my mom out with these kinds of projects when I was younger and I especially loved delivering them. I finally decided to make gingersnaps with pumpkin dip. Here are the recipes and pictures of the finished product.
Pumpkin Dip
- 1 block cream cheese
- lots of powdered sugar (I just kept dumping it in... probably 1/2 of a box)
- 2 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
Mix together these ingredients until combined. Keep adding powdered sugar until you get the consistency you want. I prefer mine a bit thinner so I added quite a bit of sugar. I also added more spices just for kicks.
Gingersnaps
I found the recipe on this site. They turned out great. I added some extra molasses and additional ginger.
