Gingerbread cookies from Life Is What You Bake It: Recipes, Stories, and Inspiration to Bake Your Way to the Top (page 115) by Vallery Lomas

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • EmilyR on September 08, 2021

    Living in Germany for a long time made me love lebkuchen / gingerbread. The first couple bites of these is great and then there's a bitter molassesy aftertaste that isn't very subtle. It reminds me a little bit of the Hirschhornsalz / baker's ammonia in some German recipes. Filing this one under acquired taste. Next time I might take Samin Nosrat's suggestion when making spiced cookies to double the spices outright.
