These cookies have the gingerbread taste, but are not best for cookie cutter gingerbread men. Still delicious, but perhaps not as exciting for the little ones.

Dark, soft and delicious! I remember my mom going North to bring grandma back to our house just to make a lot of these cookies. Watching grandma make them, I always wondered how she knew when to stop putting in the flour, she NEVER measured anything when she made these cookies. I was always in awe of her ! I can’t believe I have never seen this recipe anywhere. It’s really good. Every bite reminds me of her. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
