My 97-year-old mother has been asking me to bake her mother’s signature gingerbread cookies. I never made them before, fearing they’d never be the same as my grandmother’s. Every year, my sister-in-law makes them, and frankly, they’re just awful. The taste is bland, the cookies dry and overcooked. I think that’s why my mom asked me to try. I made the dough yesterday and the cookies today and they turned out GREAT. Shipped some out to my family members who may not be able to gather due to COVID.
@cassandra17lina Awesome! Old family recipe day here as well. Nothing smells quite as much like Christmas to me as Mom's zucchini bread. She's not around any more so it's up to me to make it happen. Came out great. Took longer to bake as usual but the flavor was exactly right even with the substitution of gluten free flour for my family's needs. #Christmas
