Looking for some sweet ginger recipes to try? Well then, you have come to the right place! I have compiled 10 Sweet Ginger Recipes for you to try this holiday season. These ginger recipes range in difficulty from beginner to intermediate; however, most are easy enough for the casual baker and sweet treat maker and all are guaranteed to be delicious! I’m excited to make number 3 for our Christmas Eve party. Enjoy!
1. Ginger Cookie Sandwiches with Caramel Buttercream
The Gold Lining Girl shares her family’s recipe for chewy molasses ginger cookies and then sandwiches them between a delectable layer of caramel buttercream frosting. Yum!
2. Gingerbread Macaroons
Not to be mistaken with macarons, macaroons are made with a base of shredded coconut and are a delightful holiday favorite! Spoonful of Flavor puts a twist on a classic recipe by adding cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger flavor. This is a great dairy and gluten free cookie alternative that has all the flavor found in traditional gingerbread cookies.
3. Ginger Snap Cocktail
During the holidays, I am a HUGE fan of serving dessert cocktails with a cookie garnish in lieu of serving a full dessert. Delightful E Made uses ginger ale, spiced rum, cream liqueur and a few other ingredients to create a delicious cocktail that tastes like a gingersnap! Serve these with some gingersnaps for a dessert to remember.
4. Gingerbread Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
I’m not usually a fan of traditional jam thumbprint cookies but I can totally get behind a cookie with a chocolate thumbprint! Clean and Scentsible has all the details on how to make these delicacies.
5. Ginger Caramel Apple Pie Moscow Mule
This drink is very gingery and makes for a fantastic holiday cocktail! Ginger beer, caramel vodka, apple cider, and a caramel apple garnish make this the perfect fall and winter drink. The mug keeps the drink at the perfect temperature!
6. Gingerbread Popcorn
Surprise your significant other with a movie night and this Gingerbread Popcorn by Krystal’s Kitsch for a fun and inexpensive gift/date night! This recipe combines molasses, brown sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and a few other spices creating a delectable treat that may become a holiday favorite.
7. Gingerbread Texas Sheet Cake Recipe
Chocolate cake loaded with gingerbread flavor and a vanilla-cream-cheese frosting make this sheet cake by Lemons for LuLu a family favorite. This is a great recipe to have on hand when you need a holiday treat to feed a crowd!
8. Gingerbread Fudge
Inside the Fox Den grew up with a grandfather who loved to make fudge and passed on his fudge-making-prowess to his granddaughter. Brown sugar, corn syrup, nutmeg, and ground ginger are all needed ingredients for this gingerbread fudge recipe.
9. Gingerbread Man Pancakes
This simple recipe by Mom’s Messy Miracles is a great way to add some seasonal fun to breakfast! This recipe is made from spices added to a “just add water” boxed pancake mix. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
10. Gingersnaps
No list of ginger recipes would be complete without a Gingersnap cookie recipe! Julie is Coco and Cocoa made these for a fun cookie exchange party and is sharing her family favorite recipe with you.

love all the variations around ginger, will give some of these a go. In Norway we make lots of Christmas cookies with ginger in too, thanks for the share.
Krystal says
Hello, delicious! That cocktail looks amazing, and thank you for sharing my popcorn!
Beth says
I’m totally trying your popcorn over Christmas break Krystal! (Shhhhh. I might make it and smuggle it into Star Wars this weekend.) Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂

Thumbprint cookies are a Christmas staple here but I never thought of making them in gingerbread! I love how Moscow Mules have made a resurgence this year when they’ve been off the radar for ages. Must be those copper mugs!
Beth says
Yes! And I had no idea that the copper mugs actually served a purpose! I love for my cold drinks to stay icy cold while I drink them so drinking from copper is quite pleasant. 🙂
