A few years ago, John gave me this ornament.

So, I decided to use this recipe to make some cookies this weekend. In case you can’t see the recipe too clear on the ornament, I’ll type it out for you.
Gingerbread Cookies
½ cup butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup molasses
2 teaspoon ginger
1 egg
2 ½ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup love
Mix all ingredients. (I refrigerated the dough overnight so it would be easier to roll out and cut in shapes). Roll out dough and cut out cookies. Bake in 350 degree oven. (I found 8-10 minutes was perfect). Serve with Hugs and Kisses.
Now to the fun part, decorating!! Even John had fun decorating.
Here is John’s nerdy family.
