"And I had but one penny in the world.
Thou should’st have it to buy gingerbread."
– William Shakespeare
For as long as we've been a family,
it's been our tradition to each choose a Christmas cookie
for baking at Christmastime.
And for as long as I can remember, one of the cookies chosen
has always been gingerbread.
Decorating them is more than half the fun.
And I must admit that my decorating staff has come a long way in a few short years.
Our cookies never used to look this good, guys!
The process moves a little slowly when you can only bake a few at a time...
But it's worth it.

Wish we could hand you a fresh cookie...
But we do wish you all the joy of the season!
***Many thanks to my neighbor, J, who loaned me a 1/2 cup of molasses for this recipe. It wouldn't have happened without you, friend!
Gingerbread is not in the Filipino vocabulary.
A friend asked me if it was like garlic bread?
;o)
She'll get to try it for the first time this year.
I wonder what she'll think?
