Holiday Gingerbread image

This Gingerbread is one of the best that I have ever had before. It is light and moist, spiced just right and so easy to pull together quickly. I love that it stays moist for several days after baking, not that it will stick around that long. Serve this to your guest with a mug of hot cider and lots of holiday cheer ! The recipe...

These cookies are delicious! I made them for a Christmas party and they were a big hit. I used a cookie cutter to make fun shapes, which made them even more festive.

I love these gingerbread cookies. The molasses and spices give them the perfect holiday flavor. I like to bake them a little longer than the recipe says, so they're a little crispy on the edges.
