There is something exceptional about a homemade gingerbread cookie. Is it the way the aroma of cloves and nutmeg steep into the corners of the kitchen? Or the textures of the molasses and butter colliding against the wooden spoon? Is it the sprig of ribbon tied to the top, in the hole punched there? Or the icing piped in curlicues fancifully around the edges? I doubt it!
Get real! It's the devouring them in your mouth part!
Have you ever noticed what happens when cookies are on the menu? Children smile wider! Schoolwork gets done faster, and the oven keeps the house warmer.
