Everyone loved these gingerbread cookies even more than our cherished, handed-down recipe! They were much easier to make, more moist, and went like hotcakes! I wish this mix was available year-round - who says you can't make gingerbread bunnies for Easter or Gingerbread jack-o-lanterns for Halloween?! But I can't find the mix anywhere now!
