Love, love, love, this recipe. I’ve made then twice so far. Great without icing – hard to stop eating them.

I followed this recipe exactly as written, including weighing out the flour. It is delicious. The perfect amount of spice. We didn’t make the icing because most of the cookies were used to make a gingerbread trifle. This recipe is a keeper I’ll make every year at the holidays. Thank you Kate!

For anyone who accidentally used regular whole wheat flour instead of pastry flour or anyone who just has a crumbly dough, I added water and flour little by little (like very carefully), and it ended up fine! I love this recipe and will continue to use it every year. It’s not too sweet but for health nuts like me, it doesn’t need the extra frosting and sugar. :)

In reply to Nuthi Ganesh. Hi! It will be pretty crumbly most likely as that is my experience with this recipe (see the notes below).

In reply to Summer. Hi Summer, see my notes about the flours below the recipe. I don't recommend it.

Made this twice and both times it didn’t come out the way I wanted it to. Dough was super crumbly and had to add milk to stiffen the dough to be able to handle it and it definitely does not taste like a gingerbread cookie. It’s more of a bitter, spicy, cookie. Not sure about this recipe but I still appreciate the idea.

Hi, just tasted the cookie dough and it tastes great! Only problem is, I used regular whole wheat flour, not pastry flour. It’s pretty dry and crumbly. I patted the dough down, wrapped the bowl in plastic wrap, and popped it in the fridge. Do you have any tips on what to do so I’m able to roll it out and cut out gingerbread men?
