Ginger orange spice cookies – cake mix cookies

December 11, 2017 by Lisa Grable 3 Comments

Ginger orange spice cookies are a quick treat based on a cake mix. I just love the lebkuchen or pfeffernusse German cookies that come out at Christmastime and these have that ginger and fruit flavor. When making treats for potluck, ginger orange spice cookies are my choice for a non-chocolate dessert.Ginger orange spice cookies are easy and spicy with great chewiness. These are so good for a non-chocolate treat. You will need electric mixer, large mixing bowl, 2 cookie pans, silicone baking mats, medium cookie scoop (2 tbsp), spatula, wire cooling rack. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie pans with silicone mat (or use parchment paper).ginger-cookies - 2 Place all ingredients in mixing bowl. Stir at low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Mix for 1 minute more. The dough will pull together and be very sticky and hard to mix.

    Ginger type cookies are such a nice alternative to chocolate. I mean I love chocolate but ginger cookies have such a rich, unique flavor who only have them at Christmas time? Thanks for sharing pinned this to my group cookie board.

      Hey Melissa, I love chocolate, but ginger just hits the spot sometimes! Thanks for visiting and pinning! Like you say, why save ginger only for Christmas?
