These gingerbread cookies are simply delicious. The ginger flavor is not overbearing, they are not too sweet and the texture is a joy to bite into.

You can frost the cookies or simply leave them unfrosted. A layer of white frosting really makes the cookies pop.

Wrap a few in a cellophane bag and give them as a yummy holiday treat.

I like to make a double batch and freeze some of them so we can have a little treat whenever we want a little yumminess.
TIP: I love this rolling pin. It helps to keep the cookies all the same thickness. You can get it here.

There is only cinnamon listed in the ingredients…no ginger or any other spices?
Oh my, thanks for pointing this out to me Reesa! I have updated the recipe and added the 4 teaspoons of ground ginger that was missing.
Thanks again, Jan
