Notes
If you don’t like an overly gingery Gingerbread only add 1 1/2 tsp of ginger.
This batch makes 100 mini gingerbread or around 3 dozen medium gingerbread men. The nutritional information is based on the mini cookie serving size. The medium gingerbread men have 3% of the average daily sugar requirement per cookie.
These cookies can be frozen for around 3 months. Store in a ziplock bag after baking when they have cooled completely.
