Just received this today, kinda neat.

Here is a link for Bisquick which set up an electronic magazine, recipes included (turn pages at the bottom). Clever.

I'm going to forward this to my daughter. For the past few years she has designed a simple gingerbread edifice of some sort and had fun decorating over Christmas vacation. In the past she has had a problem finding a recipe that works well. One year she tried a Martha Stewart one which didn't work well at all.

As far as those large gingerbread cookies are concerned, My husband and I were in Belgium a couple of years ago. These large and beautiful cookies were all over the place there, but you could break your teeth on them. What's the story behind that? Does anyone know?

Thanks for the recipe! I'm planning on attempting a gingerbread house, since I have 4 grandkids under 5 years of age. Counting on my 16 year old daughter helping, alot!

My mother-in-law makes wonderful ginger snaps, but I had to call her about the recipe she’d sent: it uses a LOT of baking soda (for the crackling effect”, and I thought it couldn’t possibly be right! LOL!

I do make a lot of candy for Christmas, more so than cookies.
