Happy St. Nick the Lounge Singer Sings Star Wars Day aka St. Nicholas' Day!


Happy St. Nick the Lounge what the what???

Oh, let me show you a SNL skit when Bill Murray was Nick the Lounge Singer.

*We are now temporarily sidetracked*



Ha, I knew you'd get a kick out of it. Now back to our recipe...

Cinnamon + Ginger + Cloves = Heavenly Aroma!!!

Our home has been filled with the lovely scent of Jynger aka Ginger to celebrate St. Nicholas Eve/Day.

I'm *over the top* about holidays and my kids know most days from Thanksgiving to Epiphany are celebrated in our home.

Good thing that calories don't count during Christmas season.*Note to Shopping List: Buy XL Star Wars Tee*

Chewie Jynger Snap Cookie Recipe Disclosure:


The recipe I'm about to share is a modified version of The Ginger People's Chewy Ginger Snaps recipe.

I have always appreciated Molasses Crinkles, but when I put crystallized ginger bits into them, it was an intense pleasure! Without those luscious bits of crystallized ginger in the cookies, they just aren't the same.

These delicious cookies are named after our furry favorite, Chewie and one of the great female leads in Star Wars, Jyn Erso.

We shaped the cookies both in balls and in Star Wars shaped silicone molds. Both taste the same, but the ones in the silicone molds came out much darker. The recipe for the Vegan Candied Jynger Chocolate Truffle Candies are on a separate page.

Enjoy your holidays. Merry Force Be With You!
