I've been making these gingerbread cookies for years and they always turn out really well. A little labor-intensive but delicious.

Thanks for the link.

My best gingerbread trick is to go to Trader Joe's and buy their gingerbread mix. No, really. Works like a charm. Every year the people at work beg me to bring it in. *g*

That might be what we end up doing though right now my nephew is insistent that we do it from scratch.

This recipe doesn't really work if you're trying to make gingerbread men, but I made these cookies last year and got rave reviews: Gingerbread Cake Cookies

I don't know if they have to be shaped like gingerbread men. We might want to concentrate on getting it to taste right first.

I used this one last year and it was tastey.

Cool. Thanks for the link.

And now I really want to try making gingerbread. I'd ask how hard it could be, but the fact that you've failing all these years already answers that question ...

Don let that stop you! I don't think our experience is typical.
