Last week I had the pleasure to make gingerbread cookies with my son’s class. I spent the morning at my son’s school surrounded by children and almighty mess! I think the children had a good time and I really enjoyed being the teacher for the day.
I made a few alterations to the recipe I shared with you last year and so I thought it would be nice to share the new and improved version of our gingerbread cookies with you all.
This would also make a lovely edible DIY Christmas gift. Just pop them in a nice tin or cellophane bag, add a nice ribbon, a gift tag and VOILÀ!
