Recipe: Gingerbread Cookies
Summary: December 16 - A Cookie A Day Until Christmas! Another June Morris recipe! AND we couldn't really talk about Christmas cookies without gingerbread. I don’t really love my gingerbread cookies to “bite”. Don’t tell mom, but I usually cut down on the cloves..Roll them a little thick, ½” or so, and you’ll have a nice, soft cookie. If you want crispy, hard cookies, save yourself the effort and visit Kroger.
