Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your gingerbread cookies. Use real butter, not margarine, and good-quality molasses and spices.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Roll the dough out evenly. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them. This will help the icing set properly.
