So if you read my last post about keeping my sanity you'll see I had a bit of an emotional, roller coaster ride which taught me about how I needed to reconnect with my kids.
Hence, what better way to show your kids you love them by staying up till 3 in the morning baking gingerbread cookies while they were asleep and waiting for the cookies to cool so you could hide them?
Try this great recipe out and if you like you can switch out the golden syrup for raw honey and the light brown sugar for dark sugar. (like I did)

1 teaspoon of ground ginger is about right for kids to tolerate but if I made another batch for me I'd put in 2 teaspoons.
Great texture, short bake time. Make whatever shapes you like... I actually made some star shaped cookies from this dough too for my teenage girls to enjoy.
Nothing says love like mama's baking.
Happy Friday y'all. Xoxo xoxo
