Gingerbread Cookies

Did I mention I'm still not quite done with Christmas?
I'm hopeless, I know.

I made about five varieties of cookies before the big holiday. And a friend gave us some gingerbread. So that I didn't make them at the time, no big deal. But I had a batch of gingerbread fixin's in a jar and didn't want another year to go by before baking them. Besides, my sweet husband loves gingerbread.

So I got out the recipe.

Added the 'wet' ingredients to make the dough.
Refrigerated it.

Decided on a cookie shape.
A bear will do!
Not as Christmas-y as a gingerbread boy.
And bears are brown ... so ... no icing needed.
Bonus!

Rolled out the dough on my new silicone baking mat.
Dipped the cutter in flour.
Pressed the cutter into the dough.
Bake.

Happy baked gingerbread bears.
I don't think they'll last long in the house.
