Today we baked Gingerbread Cookies for our Christmas cooking activity.
These cookies smell SO GOOD as they are cooking. It is difficult not to eat them all before decorating them!
The students were all very patient and decorated all the cookies in lovely, artistic designs.
Then they ate them and discovered they taste just as good as they smell while cooking. YUM!
If your want to make these at home, follow the recipe below…
