To all of you that look at this website – I NEED YOUR HELP!!  Grant has given me the task of finding the recipe for the ultimate gingerbread cookie.  He had some gingerbread at Christmas time one year and fell in love with the flavour – now he wants me to re-create it.  So, I’m asking for all of your help to get this recipe to his liking.

The criteria is that it needs to have a spicy flavour, with definite tastes of ginger and nutmeg.  It also needs to be soft and chewy on the inside, not hard like some of the commercial gingerbread men that you can buy.

I tried a recipe this weekend that I had had in my folder for ages.  I thought it was ok, and so did most of the people that tried it, but Grant didn’t think they were anything special, just tasted like a generic honey biscuit (even though there was no honey in them!).  Needless to say I’ve now taken that recipe out of my folder and I’m asking for any and all assistance.

If you have a gingerbread recipe (either the bread or a cookie) that you use with great success, please either include it or a link to it in the comments section below.

I did make some other things this weekend, but I’ll save those for another blog post later.

As always, you can comment on any recipe, make suggestions for me to try and suggestions to improve this website – I’d love to hear from you!  And if you like what you see here, please subscribe to get the updates as I put them up here, and sign up your friends and family!

Until next time, enjoy cooking at home.
