Christmas and New Year holidays are made to cook tasty gingerbread cookies, put them in a nice gift box and treat everyone around you. You can choose any shape you like. I even used Linzer cookie cutter and filled gingerbread cookies with apricot jam. It was delicious.
To make cookies with a filling, you’ll need to roll the dough very thin. In you use no filling, you can make the cookies thicker. Then you’ll get a tasty gingerbread.
