Gingerbread Cookies
by Doris Ware from Poteau, OK
We couldn’t resist turning Doris’ sweet and spicy gingerbread recipe into the little gingerbread men of our childhood! This is a wonderful-spiced gingerbread cookie that’s easy to make. The dough holds its shape when cut and baked. The cookies are chewy, sweet, and spicy. Decorate how you like, give them as gifts, or enjoy them yourself. They keep really well and have a chewy texture for days.
