I'm going to try those! I have a couple vegan recipes I need to pass along. The best pumpkin muffins ever, some chocolate thumbprint cookies, and some ginger cookies. All really good! Let me know if you are interested.
Thank you so much for this recipe. Geoff has been asking me to make him some gingerbread cookies. He is going to be very happy!
Thanks! I love gingerbread cookies but have never tried making them. I think I'll be taking a stab on Monday.
those look really good and soft. I guess that's why i don't like gingerbread cookies--they are usually crispy. Was it a lot of work?
Marleen- Will you email me your address so I can send you a Christmas card? gjgunnerson@yahoo.com
Yum! I have this same thing from Ashley. I am going to have to go make them now. I have been in such the baking mood. Hey, where did you get the background for your blog? I like it simple and I like your heading box also. Dish the details! (please)
All the cool stuff is from my wonderful sister Darleen. Check her link out from this blog.
