| Gingerbread Cookies |
“Mamma I have a suggestion for your next baking project.”
This sentence is enough to scare me!
I go off baking!
But it was Christmas time!! The request was for Gingerbread Cookies.
Thought I was not sure if they will like the cookies accepted and said “#FireUpYourOven".
I was quite surprised they liked it but then the hint of ginger in these cookies was tantalizing not overpowering as I assumed.
I choose to make them molasses free as I do not have access to molasses. I assume with molasses will taste just as awesome.

- Transfer on a lightly greased mould keeping space in between the cookies as they will spread.
- Bake for about 7 minutes or golden brown around the edges.
