Gingerbread Cookies
"Gingerbread cookies are a must for Christmas. Whether you make simple circles or use your gingerbread man cookie cutter, this soft gingerbread recipe is perfect. I love to put these on a pretty tray with my homemade gingersnap cookies. Soft gingerbread men or cute spicy faces are ideal for Christmas parties or placed in a cellophane bag for gift giving. vWe aren’t going to preheat the oven right away because the cookie dough rests for about 2 hours before baking. You can go ahead and line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper to get ready."
