It&#8217;s an odd (to me) recipe, in that you cook the molasses\/sugar mixture before preparing the dough, but the dough was easy to work with\/roll out and was not too crisp\/crunchy after baking.  Only 2 of the baked cookies broke during transport and decoration.  I think it could have used a slightly stronger gingerbread flavor, so I may use a bit more ginger if I make these again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4034.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_4034.jpg\" width=\"192\" height=\"320\" \/><br \/>\nE.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4035.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_4035.jpg\" width=\"202\" height=\"320\" \/><br \/>\nC.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4036.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_4036.jpg\" width=\"289\" height=\"320\" \/><br \/>\nGirl.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4037.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_4037.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"320\" \/><br \/>\nL.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4038.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_4038.jpg\" width=\"232\" height=\"320\" \/><br \/>\nZ.<\/p>\n<p>The siblings:  J, D and Boy (and their dads), were at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.statesman.com\/sports\/content\/sports\/stories\/highschool\/12\/16\/1216cove.html\">this disappointing football game<\/a>, while the girls, youngest siblings and moms stayed at home with the cookies.<\/p>\n<p>We resourceful moms also came up with a winter-inspired version of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/2006\/10\/basillime_martini_this_is_not.html\">Lime Basil martini<\/a>.
