About
These soft gingerbread cookies are easy to cut into any shape and so yummy!
These cookies are a family recipe from my grandmother. She made them for Christmas for years and they are a family favorite. These are soft and cake-like cookies. Top them with any icing and they are a perfect treat all year round!
