Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The gingerbread cookies were a bit dry and the royal icing was too sweet.

The gingerbread skeletons were a bit too fragile. Some of them broke when I was decorating them.

I had trouble getting the gingerbread dough to roll out evenly. It kept sticking to my rolling pin.
