I really like ginger stuff. My mom used to make gingerbread and lemon sauce (sounds iffy but it’s great!), I like gingersnaps more than just about any other cookie and I have explored medicinal uses for ginger brandy (uh…sure…medicinal uses).
When Mommaw and Granddad invited us over to make gingerbread houses, I was likely more excited than the kids. None of us has the patience to make a full-blown 3-D gingerbread house. Patience runs so thin amongst us, in fact, that Isaac didn’t even have the patience to ice his gingerbread house. He said he liked it as it was, though I think he really just hates crafty stuff that much. Anyhow, Mommaw found a simple recipe and a house cookie cutter so we were set to go.
You can see that the kids used the flour with gusto and had it all over. The very best part of this fun was that it was at Mommaw and Granddad’s house!
We iced most of the cookies a little but we really were excited to get to the eating. After only 24 hours, we have finished all of the cookies! Yes, hibernation weight is coming along nicely!
Love the cookies – I’ve never made them and I should. The kids would have fun. Sounds like our house eating whooppee pies (30 gone in 3 days).

If the whooppee pies you make are like the ones my mom used to make, I can understand. I love those things. I don’t think we have made them for our kids yet. That sounds like something I need to remedy!
Warren, the kids always look so happy. You seem to keep the involved in some kinda project, good job. Need more parents that get involved with their kids like that. Now, bring me some ’em cookies…..

If you make them whooppee pies make sure to add the recipe to the blog please.
I haven’t made gingerbread in years-but I like it. Looks like you guys had fun.
