Gingerbread cookie recipe...

[Brigitte]

My girls want to make some today for a cookie exchange later in the week. Anyone have a good recipe that she wants to share?

I get most of my recipes (cookies, too) from www.thekitchenlink.com

We love this recipe. It doesn't have a super, strong gingerbread taste, but still tastes great! And, it's easy to roll out.

Thanks, Ladies. I will check these out.

Our family eats healthy, but we eat one homemade cookie that contains Crisco every night. ;-)

 

The Crisco gives the cookie stability, yet softness (we slightly underbake, on a insulated cookie sheet).

 

Here's Crisco's gingerbread cookie recipe. When I don't have enough molasses, I substitute corn syrup, or something else--mine are usually not as dark as the photo.

We love their Choc Chip; Peanut Butter; & Sugar Cookie recipes as well.

Cut out cookies cut out better if the dough has had a chance to chill several hours.

 

And I sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

 

And I use a round cookie cutter, which is easier to make than "official" GB men!

 

Enjoy!
