Soft Gingerbread Cookies

The holidays are upon us! Those of us who wear braces can enjoy all of the delicious flavors of the season without hurting our mouths. We just need to pay a little more attention to what we eat, like we always do. So, sip away at that eggnog, and avoid crunching into that candy cane.

We love ourselves a good gingerbread cookie. We have found this recipe for delicious soft gingerbread cookies, so you can enjoy cookies with Santa and take care of your braces at the same time! Look at you, multitasking over the holidays!

If you have other braces-wearers in your life, these cookies (and other soft holiday treats) would make a fantastic, thoughtful gift. Wrapped in wax paper with a festive bow, or nestled in a holiday tin among green and red tissue paper, you can really help another person feel special.

Happy Holidays from all of us at James Karpac Orthodontics! We hope you have a warm, joyful, merry holiday with friends, family, and your friendly neighborhood orthodontist!
