I know these aren't nearly close to being a decent gingerbread cookies in terms of the decoration, but let me tell you, these cookies are very close to being the perfect gingerbread cookies when it comes to their taste. They also happen to be my favorite holiday cookie. I guess I have a soft spot for all things spicy. These cookies have a lot of character to them despite their cardboardy and somewhat homely appearence. These cookies were pretty easy to put together and I actually have a recipe that I can include, so here you go:Gingerbread

Are the measurements for the dry ingredients in volume or weight?
Both...Flour in weight and the rest by volume!
what altitude are you at? Want to make some gingerbread cookies but I'm at 7,000 feet so it makes things tricky. Are all of our recipes adjusted to high altitude?
Delicious cookies! This is the best recipe we've come across yet (our son loves gingerbread -& so do I). Thank you!
