Classic Gingerbread Cookies Recipe
Children will enjoy helping you to cut out the different shapes. Tiny pieces of glace cherry or currants can be used to decorate the shapes before they are baked.
Cut the gingerbread mixture into any shape you like. If you make a hole in the top before you bake them, you can tie the baked shapes with ribbon and hang them on your Christmas tree.
