december 17: make gingerbread cookies
i made 1/4 of this recipe and got the dough ready a day before we were going to cut, decorate, and bake the cookies. the next day, while looking at the recipe card, i realized i made the recipe for gingerbread HOUSE dough! it was fine, it just wasn't as spiced or sweet as my other recipe... something just wasn't quite as good, but still okay.. who knows, it could be in my head that it tasted any different!
kate loved cutting out the cookies
beth had a great time, as well. i let her do a few and then finished the rest myself
you can see why...
another tradition i grew up with was gingerbread cookies with red hots (not frosting). i often wonder if people think this is strange or whatever - i love the flavor :)
beth's cute little toddler hands got in on the action, too
puffy gingerbread people - just waiting for their heads to be bitten off first!
