Gingerbread cookies

I don't usually get too excited about Christmas (working retail for 8 years has pretty much numbed any excitement I ever did feel lol). But! I was craving gingerbread cookies the other night - and hey, what else is there to do when your baby is sound asleep at 10pm!
Icing the cookies was kind of a bust. I'm going to make my own icing from now on - the ready-made stuff didn't impress me at all... It was either WAY too runny for decorating after following the heating instructions or way too hard to squeeze out of the bottle!

The cookies turned out GREAT. Tasted so yummy and were super soft! Definitely going to use this recipe again. (Note: if you are going to try this recipe, I suggest using about an extra cup of flour)


Icing-FAIL!
