Gingerbread People Cookies, I was looking for a lighter cookie to make for my office’s holiday party and found this on the Cooking Light web site These looked appealing for taste and presentation and lots of good reviews from CL subsribers , My wife wanted to make Gingerbread cookies this weekend, so I went to my standard back-up plan and found this recipe We enjoyed this recipe very much It’s tasty, fairly easy to make, and(most importantly) fits into our diabetic lifestyle diet Well done justcallmetoni!, I pride myself on serving the husband healthy food that he does not know is healthy That being said, when I made these, the husband wasn’t that excited about them So, I didn’t tell him they were what he likes to call chick food, and made a full-fat batch as soon as these were out of the oven All of the cookies taste exactly the same! Thanks for such a great cookie recipe! I had to give it four stars because I had to fight with the dough (it was a little hard to roll out) And it turns out the husband doesn’t usually like gingerbread – the man likes gingerSNAPS So, these don’t lack flavor They taste just like gingerbread cookies should 🙂
