So, get in your kitchen, and wow your family members with these festive fries — perfect for any holiday party, family gathering or winter break long veg-out session on the couch.

Gingerbread Cookie Fries
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350° F. Combine the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt u0026 pepper in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for about 2 minutes (until the mixture is combined well and light in color and texture).
Beat in the molasses and egg.
Gradually mix in the flour until the dough is stiff and sticky.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and throw it in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes (until it’s stiff, but not frozen).
Flour your surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking. Roll out the dough into a large, thin rectangle and use a pizza cutter (or sharp knife) to cut the dough crosswise into 3/4u0022-1u0022 thick strips. Cut the strips in half lengthwise, and trim the edges to create straight sides.
Bake for 12-15 minutes (until golden brown), dip into your favorite frostings, and enjoy.
