Homemade Ginger Bread Cookies

If you have been following me, I have been posting my Bakes for Christmas. So here is yet another Classic Traditional Homemade Ginger bread Cookies that’s made during Christmas for gifting.

As I said Christmas Gifting, I believe that edible gifting makes more happy than all others. Most of the gifts, either we give or get from others are just another toy in home.

Its used for few days and then forgotten. When you give it as edible gift, there is a special smile! You just pour in your love when you bake it and so its always remembered.

As my friend Renu said in her blog, that Ginger Bread Cookies are made in winter to keep us warm. Since it uses Cinnamon and Ginger!!

This is my 7th recipe for Bakeathon that is hosted by Srivalli, during this december.

Did you know??

Santa initially wore clothes that were in green, purple or even blue? For many years, this was the common theme for the jolly old man at the North Pole. However, Coca Cola decided to dress him up in colors that match their brand and now he is forever in red clothes!
