I had a bunch of gingerbread dough leftover from my adventures in gingerbread house making. So, I decided to use the dough to make cookies for the new year!
I thought I would share an icing flowers tutorial that I found very helpful:
I love the way these cookies look, but I have to confess it's a bit too much icing for the cookie — taste wise. Too much sugar! (I've been scraping off the flowers before I eat the cookies.) On a side note, the gingerbread has held up really well and is still soft, a week later! Next time I want to figure out how to create gorgeous cookies that don't require you to scrape off some icing!
Thanks for stopping by!

The dough was still good just sitting in the refrig? I thought the same thing about the icing, way too much to eat, but worked well to decorate. I don’t know if I would have the strength to scrap if off before eating it. They look delish!
