Perfect christmas treat and so easy to make 😀 They look delicious!
These look great. I love gingersnap cookies.
I like consistency in blogs, and if there’s one thing “Six Sisters’ Stuff” is, it’s consistent. You all give good, downright delicious recipes with ingredients that are readily available; you use clean language, proper punctuation and good grammar–trust me, those things count! I can’t stand reading blogs that are laced with profanity because the author doesn’t seem to care what his/her audience thinks; it matters to me, at least, that the language put online is clean.
Thank you, girls (I’m plenty older enough than any of you to be your mother), for the wonderful blogs you’ve been posting over the years, and the marvelous recipes. Please know that for at least one woman in her 60’s, your blogs, specifically, mean that I come back to your site time after time after time, knowing that I’m always going to enjoy what I see.
Hi Joyce, You totally made our whole week with your sweet comment. Thanks for taking time to leave us a little note. We appreciate you stopping by our blog SixSistersStuff. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Can you freeze these and for how long ?
You can freeze these and they should be fine for a month or two.
You are spot on & I feel exactly the same way. It all matters. Thank you.
These sound delicious and look very simple to make. How would you describe the interior texture? Is it more moist and chewy, or a bit dry or crunchy? Does the gingerbread flavor remain strong enough?
These are on the moist side and so delicious!
Thank you for your reply! Look forward to trying them soon!
These look SO GOOD, but I have no idea what vanilla almond bark is or where to buy it – do you think I could substitute white chocolate?
Did I miss the quantity of the ingredients somehow?
Hm, they show in my browser, I’ll copy them for you:
1 13-oz package of gingersnap cookies
8 oz cream cheese
16 oz vanilla almond bark
Nutmeg for garnish (optional)
Hope that helps!
It’s all there. Just scroll down in the recipe post and you will see the full recipe with ingredients amounts and full directions. The section you are reading is at the top of the post. Full recipe is further down.
It’s on the baking aisle. You can also use white chocolate baking chips.
Do these have to rwmain refrigerated or can they be left room temp?
They are fine to be left out for a while, but then if not eaten place them in an airtight container in the fridge.
Hi! Making these for a party next weekend. Should the cream cheese be room temp?
It can be softened a little, maybe leave out for about an hour before making.
These are super easy and taste fabulous. I have made them (and the eggnog truffles) every year since I found the recipe. This year I crushed up the cookies in my food processor and then quarterd the softened cream cheese and tossed in – no bowl to wash!
So interesting ! Almond bark is something completely different in Canada! We just would need melting chocolate here .
You could use white chocolate chips.
While these are yummy, is it just me that gets a little annoyed with the “only 3 ingredients!”? But one of the ingredients is just a box mix or in this case a box of cookies? I would assume I could make gingersnaps and use that, but then ot wouldn’t be as catchy as saying 3 ingredients
We hope you enjoy the recipe! They are very popular on our website, especially around the holidays. Merry Christmas.
Do these have to be rolled? Maybe put the dough in a pan then put the white chocolate over the top?
