Gingerbread Snowflakes (Pg 259)


The one that started the project. After all, it's Christmas time, I must make gingerbread cookies. And how could I not be inspired by Martha's beautiful gingerbread snowflake? I went in another direction, though. Or directions, I should say. I went in the direction of small gingrbread boys, larger gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, small stars, small snowflakes, Christmas trees....I didn't realize how many fun cookie cutters my Mother had been hiding.


These came out pretty good. They came out a bit crunchy, but that was either because I rolled them out too thin, baked them too long, or had the oven too high. Or all of the above. Something to work on. However, they do taste delicious, and that's really all that matters. I actually substituted nutmeg for cloves and it gave it a nice spicier flavor. So very Christmas-y.
