Christmas Gingerbread & Cream Cheese Ginger Cookies are one of the delicious recipes, Cooking tree will show you how to prepare this recipe step by step

I made 2 types of cookies that are perfect for Christmas~.
A chewy cookie with cream cheese filling and a crispy cookie shaped like a gingerbread man.

Both cookies are flavored with ginger and cinnamon.
You can adjust the amount of ginger and cinnamon to your taste.

First, I cut out the crispy gingerbread cookies using cookie cutters and baked them.

If you find that your cookies are too soft after cutting them out and before placing them on the baking sheet, place them in the freezer for about 5 minutes to firm up.
If they’re too soft, the cookies may lose their shape while transferring them.

The second cookie is crispy around the edges and chewy and moist throughout.
The cream cheese I use is a runny spreadable type, so I added a little cornstarch.

For a firm cream cheese, I think you could leave out the cornstarch.
It can spread a lot while baking, so make sure to chill it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before baking.

If it spreads a lot, you can roll it in a small mousse ring right after baking while the cookies are still soft and it will hold its shape.

Have fun watching~♬~
