This week, we’re giving you a bunch of cookie ideas, but we didn’t want to skip on out on general baking advice, too. One big concern is all that fat. Fat ensures that your baked goods are moist and tender (pretty important!), but you can dial it down and still make them delectable with a few basic swaps.
I’ve made these cookies twice so far this season — bats for Halloween and now wintry snowflakes to kick off December. The dough is easy to work with, and the recipe makes so much that you can bake half now and save the remaining dough in the freezer for later. They’re not too gingery, so if you prefer your cookies with a bite up the spices. For chewier cookies, roll the dough thicker; for more of a gingersnap crunch, keep them thin.
Now that Thanksgiving is over, let the holiday baking season begin! This week, we’re offering up a cookie a day to give you ideas for holiday parties, cookie swaps or simple, healthier choices to satisfy your sweet tooth.

No one wants to think about food poisoning — stomach cramps, nausea and more — the day before a big holiday feast, but if you’re the cook, you need to be mindful.
