Gingerbread Valentines? Why not? If someone you love happens to L-O-V-E gingerbread, then gingerbread cookies are the best sweet treat you can give them for Valentine’s Day.

“I know that gingerbread is beneficial to your health because I always feel better when I eat a gingerbread cookie.” Kasha

I was not a fan of gingerbread as a child. But when I started making cookies and discovered that gingerbread was my great nephew’s favorite cookie, I knew I had to come up with the most delicious gingerbread he’d ever eaten. This cookie is the result. It is thick and soft on the inside and full of warm spices, including fresh ginger. Everyone loves it...even the baker. Happy Birthday, dear nephew!

Did you know...
Ginger has a lot of health benefits.

One article I read mentioned that ginger can help with weight loss.
I’m not sure they're including gingerbread cookies on their list,
but I’m certainly including it on mine. Bon apetit.

 

Cookie specifics

What I’ve learned...

Gingerbread isn’t just for Christmas cookies. The wonderful spices go well with tea or coffee any time of the year. And because gingerbread is my nephew’s favorite cookie, I always make them for him on Valentine’s Day!  These cookies were made with the best ingredients I could find. Grated fresh ginger adds so much flavor to this recipe that it’s hard to eat just one, no matter what your New Year’s resolution was. I’ve experimented with less expensive ingredients, but have come to the conclusion that flavor is best when I use the best. Why spend all this time baking and decorating if taste and texture are just so-so? Decorating the cookies takes time, but it’s an enjoyable process for me and I know that those who receive them appreciate that. Life is just better when you can share something you love with someone you love. Don’t you agree?
