#4 Gingerbread Snowflakes (#2 in the cutout series)
Since I started this whole shin dig, I’ve made some kind of gingerbread, usually in the shape of snowflakes. I cannot make them in little people shapes because I always think of Hansel and Gretel.
This year I tried the Moravian Spice cookie recipe for the snowflakes instead of my standard. Big disappointment were the spice cookies. The dough was tough and hard and I got a cardio workout trying to roll the suckers. I usually fall on the side of if you can make your cutouts thinner, please do, they taste better, but after a while, I plum gave up with these. Thankfully royal icing covers a lot of frustration and they turned out pretty, again decorated by the crew.
