Aunt Mabel's Super Easy Gingerbread Cookies image

This was handed down by my great aunt. This is super easy and you can mix the dry ingredients and put them into a quart jar so they are ready when you want to make gingerbread; easy as a mix, and so much better. Whipped cream on each serving is a good addition.

I've tried many gingerbread cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a perfect balance of spices. I highly recommend this recipe!
