Knitters, quilters, bakers… no matter what our creative outlet of choice is, we’re all united by a universal language: COOKIES! So when the Grocery Girls (aka hosts Jodi and Tracie of YouTube’s Off Our Needles) chose to share their famous family ginger cookie recipe, there was no way we were gonna keep it under wraps.
And the recipe for these soft, gooey treats isn’t all their sharing…
Make sure to tune into the girls’ Christmas in July episode to check out a heaping helping of holiday ideas, from DIY ornaments to festive mug cozies. Who knows? Our pajama-clad partners in crime might even inspire you to get a head start on this year’s holiday bounty. (Or if you’re like us, at least create a list of cute ideas to procrastinate on.)

Thanks for the wonderful recipe! Error in sentence. (And the recipe for these soft, gooey treats isn’t all their sharing…) Should be “they’re” (they are), not “their.”
