Yum, yum, yum.
PERFECT…I also LOVE the reminder about the royal icing!! :) I needed it :) LOL
I would really love some feedback on this recipe. It is a combination of several traditional family recipes that I have tweaked over the years — mostly by watching Hallee and then improving on my amateur status. :-)
I LOVE the way the dough smells, that spicy, vanilla, nutmeg fragrance. The entire house smells amazing when a batch is in the oven. Do you feel the same? I can’t even put my finger on the exact smell. The molasses or the spices?
I can’t wait until I can use the homemade vanilla. I just know that is going to be an amazing gingerbread.
Merry Christmas,
Gregg
while I have not personally made these, I have eaten the fruits of your labor! :-} This is by far the best gingerbread recipe I have ever had the pleasure of eating!!!
Thanks for sharing your recipe at Saturday Swap! My to~do list this week includes making cookies {including Gingerbread}. I’m bookmarking your recipe to try. Have a wonderful week and a Merry Christmas!!
i made this recipe last yr…they were very tasty!! the dough was stiff and barely fit in my kitchen aid mixer BUT they rolled out beautifully and easily! I didn’t make them this year as I struggle with Carpal tunnel and struggled with having to roll it all out because it makes so much dough!!
I tried this yesterday and made a third of the recipe. (I wish I had one third and two thirds teaspoon measuring spoons.) The cookies came out fine. I wanted to try a cookie cutter I had bought at the grocery store that makes the parts for a tiny gingerbread house. I used frosting from the store to stick the sides together and it didn’t work very well; maybe Gregg’s frosting would have held them together better.
(I was thinking the cookies were not spicy enough but I compared the recipe to the one I’ve used in Joy of Cooking, and Gregg’s recipe is actually spicier. Then I realized I was comparing them to a ginger snap recipe I had made with three kinds of ginger plus black pepper, and I had added cayenne too.)
