Crispy Gingerbread Cookies


Weird. Is what I would use to describe 2015. The past year was full of ups and downs, laughters and cries. As always, I wish this brand new year to be better than the previous and that it brings us nothing but joy. With my finals finally finished and the winter break finally here with a lot of snow, I am pretty sure that this holiday will not only be relaxing but also a refreshing way to welcome new year and the new semester. 

On the other hand, the recipe that I prepared for you, better late than never, the Crispy Gingerbread Cookie recipe is now ready for you as promised before. I do have a Gingerbread Recipe on my blog from previous years, however I can say that this one is the crispiest one ever. Instead of cutting them with "gingerbread men" cookie cutters, I invested in a tiny cookie tree cutter set which comes in various sized star shaped cutters and a hole puncher. So, you can make a tree out of your cookies or tie it with string and hang as decorations. 

I also got these amazing snowflake shaped cookie cutters from Crate and Barrel. I can truly say that these are the most beautiful cookie cutters I have every owned. They look like lace and the cookies come out so pretty that you do not even what to eat the cookies to that they don't lose their shapes. 

Even though Christmas season is over, Gingerbread cookie is still one of my favorites to bake because of its fragrant smell and delicious taste. A nice mug of coffee, a tiny generous piece of Crispy Gingerbread Cookie and a decent book is all you need for during these cold snowy days. With a couple of cookie cutters, this recipe is perfect to share with friends and family. I wish you a fantastic new year and hope you'll like this recipe.
