What a lovely post. Must pull myself together and bring enthusiasm back into my life. Christmas season will be upon us soon.

Thank YOU! I will be trying this recipe out very soon. The one I’ve been using is similar to yours, I just add a pinch or two of Orange Peel spice. Gives the gingerbread cookies at bit of citrus zing.

A woman that I work with makes gingerbread houses that are works of art. She’s promised to bring one to us as a Christmas treat. Can’t wait to see it! :)

The first snow of the season is falling outside. I think I’ll make up a batch of these tomorrow morning.

I like gingerbread as a cake baked in a loaf tin try British treacle as opposed to molasses it makes the cake have slightly different taste and I think more sticky especially the outside crust.

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.
