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.
@BenA I’m glad you’re supporting a local merchant! Enjoy your cookies.
You mean there's no ginger in Gingerbread cookies??? I never knew
@RORos There’s powdered ginger
Oh..okay. Somehow I pictured fresh. Powder is good. Gonna try your recipe one day.... TY
@cassandra17lina Those look yummy but I'm too lazy to go through all of that work. Yesterday I placed an order with a local, old-school bakery (opened in 1924!) for a half dozen of their decorated gingerbread men and women. Drool!
