Gingerbread Cookies

The holidays are fast approaching, so what better time for a great gingerbread cookie recipe? This recipe uses cloves and vinegar, and the chef gives very specific and very useful instructions – she varies the speed of the mixer for each step. To cut the calories on the frosting, use lower-fat butter and cut the sugar. There’s plenty of sugar in the cookie recipe, so you’ll barely notice a lighter frosting.

I enjoy these cookies with warm cocoa on a chilly winter night, and I bet you will, too!
