G is for Giant Gingerbread Kids


 Alright, so let me start off by saying that I apologize for nothing.

I started this project in July of 2020 so making gingerbread cookies is a little off season, however, they were super good. These cookies are a softer gingerbread and so great for people but I wouldn’t try to make a house out of this dough.

As mentioned in the Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe I’m about a 2 possible 3 dozen drop cookie type of person. When it comes to cutting out cookies…. I get way less enthusiastic. It can just take forever!

Rolling, cutting, squishing, rolling, cutting, rolling can just get old really fast. However, I assume it has been years since the last time I made cookies like this it was alright. I think I got about 2 dozen cookies, I used EVERY cookie cutter I had. That was pretty fun and funny.

I sent this picture of a friend and while she was looking at it leaned over to her spouse and was like do you think that is a penis? He was like no, she was like, Shannon made them, and he immediately changed his mind and was like oh then for sure it is. I love how I’ve broken my friend's expectations or have I given them these types of expectations? Either way, it makes me laugh.

The cookbook says this would make 8 giant gingerbread kids but all my cutters were normal size so it feels like as a batch it was the perfect size to not be annoying.
