Tracy originally offered this free ornament pattern 9 years ago, in December of 2013. Wonderful to hang on your tree or decorate packages.

You can click over & get the FREE PDF pattern  at our sister website, click here.
BTW...this very ornament is still in great shape and it's still one of our all time favorites.

These little raw edge stuffed denim Christmas trees are super quick and cute and they make excellent use of small denim pieces--yes,  friends, let's RECYCLE that denim!

You can make the ornaments even more meaningful by using "memory fabrics" from family members' old jeans.

Tracy's Home Baked Gingersnap Cookies

12/6/2022

Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup granulated white sugar (for rolling dough balls)

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • Cream together butter, brown sugar, molasses and egg in a large mixing bowl.
  • In 3 separate additions to the creamed mixture, sift flour, baking soda salt ginger and cinnamon. Make certain to mix dough completely.
  • Form dough into 1″ – 1 1/2″ balls.
  • Roll dough balls in granulated sugar until evenly coated.
  • Place sugar-coated dough balls on un-greased cookie sheet. Make certain to space 2″ – 3″ between balls of dough.
  • Bake approximately 10 minutes. Centers should still be soft looking.
  • Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet. YUMMMY…enjoy at least 1 warm cookie sample.
Hint: Gingersnaps have a tendency to get crunchy after they cool and begin to age.
I like them crunchy to dunk in coffee. But if you prefer to keep gingersnaps somewhat soft,
it is helpful to store them in a sealed plastic container with a slice of bread.
The slice of bread will become hard/stiff…but it will help the cookies remain soft.

Here's a GREAT COOKIE GIFTING IDEA.  Bake a batch of cookies, put a bunch in a baggie and pop them into a FabMagic Reusable Fabric Giftwrapper that you make with materials you probably already have! Tracy designed this downloadable PDF sewing pattern to be super fast & fun to make and so pretty to give. They were specifically designed to hold a variety of food storage bag sizes but they also work great for socks, t-shirts, sweatshirts and many other items. The wrappers are pretty and they're re-usable AND you can stop wasting money on paper wrap that just gets thrown away.
