Directions
Gingerbread Cookies, These are absolutely the best gingerbread cookies I have ever tried , This was my first time trying to make Gingerbread Cookies and they came out wonderful The coloring, flavor and texture were perfect I followed you instructions completely except used the plastic wrap when I was rolling out the dough before cutting That prevents any sticky to the rolling pin Of course you have to work fast, as you stated or it just gets soft and sticky to cut Thank you! I hope my childs class enjoys them , I found this dough to be terribly sticky so sticky that it couldn’t be manipulated, even after several hours of refrigeration I followed the recipe exactly My butter was soft (room temp), maybe that was the problem? The taste of the cookie was soft, and good Great gingerbread cookie, not so much as a gingerbread man!
