A Birthday Treat~ Ginger Jar Cookies
Good Morning,
My birthday was yesterday. I still can’t believe that I am 39. Wow…. 40 next year. I am actually looking forward to turning 40. I don’t know why but I am. My birthday was actually very nice. I had lunch with some of my co-workers, my husband sent me a beautiful bouquet of roses, and order these gorgeous earrings for me. I can’t wait until they arrive!
I did want to share these gorgeous grandmilliennial inspired cookies that my husband ordered for me from Geneva Baking Company. I saw her ginger jar cookies on Instagram and had to order some!
I was so excited when the box arrived earlier this week! I loved the blue ribbons.

Aren’t they gorgeous? I shrieked like a little kid when I opened the box. They are huge cookies I will tell you that! But they are so gorgeous! I wanted a bit of every design.
I got pink and white and blue and white. I also wanted the toile, floral and leaf design. The owner sent me many emails just to make sure that my order was exactly what I wanted. She was so kind and sent me an extra cookie as a gift!
The cookies did not disappoint. I took some to the office to share with a few people and everyone loved them! Everyone kept saying how beautiful they were and they truly are! I hope to get some ordered next year. I would really love some Chanel-inspired cookies but we will see.
The ingredients were very simple. No surprises, just unbleached flour, butter, eggs, baking powder, salt, almond, and vanilla extract. I love the taste of the almond extract. That was my favorite. Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I appreciate all of your support through the years. Enjoy your Wednesday!
The cookies are beautiful. My goodness. I’m glad you had a nice celebration. 40s have been a great season. There were significant shifts that happened. You are still young but you have some wisdom and experience under your belt. You start to care less and less what people think and things seem to roll off your back. You tend to be more deliberate in all things. 40s is a special time it really is. The Fabulous Forties 365 days left and counting ????
Thank you! I am glad to hear that your season in your 40s went well. I can not wait for some chapters to close. That is another reason why I am looking forward to the 40s. I don’t want to wish my life away. I just know that I am looking forward to some chapters ending. Thank you for the birthday wishes!
