It's a Christmas miracle

susandennisI've made these particular ginger cookies at least a half dozen times. And today, for the first time, it all worked fine. The dough was not too sticky and not too dry. They needed zero extra flour to roll out and cut. And the cookies came out just exactly the way I wanted them.
And, for the first time, I didn't make a giant mess.
I am waiting for this afternoon to taste test. I've learned that eating these kinds of cookies while still soft and warm does not a true test make. I want them snappy! And they need to get way cool for that. Plus, I'll probably dribble some icing on most if not all because I want to.
Edited later - they taste perfect and are crunchy like I wanted. Now I'm worried that I won't be able to replicate!
I do love the We Were Here imprint on the parchment.
Very pleased with the project.
