Gingerbread cookies are just so cute! They are a fun holiday tradition and they taste just like a Christmas cookie should taste! Plus the aroma of the wonderful warm spices will make your kitchen smell like a bakery. They are also fun and easy to decorate.
We have made gingerbread cookies for years, but this year I decided to try a new recipe. Sally’s Baking Blog recently posted a recipe for Gingerbread Cookies – and her recipes are always AMAZING – so as expected – they were perfectly spiced and the best gingerbread cookies I have ever made. They have a full tablespoon of cinnamon and ginger, which I thought might be too much – but the cookies were perfectly spiced. Plus they also have brown sugar, molasses, allspice and cloves to add to that deliciousness. YUM!
My icing was a bit too thin, but you can see the possibilities are endless….or you can just sprinkle the cookies with a bit of sanding sugar before you bake them, then you don’t have to decorate them. Mini M&Ms and little red hots always look cute.
Just for fun, I made several different sizes. Bigger ones certainly easier to decorate.
So cute on a cookie tray! Bake up your favorites and share with your friends and family. Happy Holidays!!!!

If you prefer a more delicate flavored gingerbread cookie, this Honey Gingerbread is one our family has included in our holiday baking for about 30 years.
