Even as a child, I can still remember that this recipe was worn and torn when my grandmother passed it down to my mother. The story goes that it is over 200 years old. Years ago, there was a time when this was a very popular and common cookie to have baking in most everyone's kitchen. So take a stroll down memory lane and enjoy the simple pleasure of such an old, old-fashioned soft and yummy gingerbread cookie.
Simply follow the easy directions step-by-step and these heavenly little confections will turn out perfectly. And perhaps this time-honored recipe will become a favorite in your family too!
Chef's Note:
Measuring the amounts of spices and herbs that go into this recipe will take all the guess work out of it, just slice and go and you'll always have excellent resolutes.
My advise with this recipe is to be creative. Butter is a wonderful asset in the kitchen when it is premixed with spices and herbs. Another ingredient that I always mix into this recipe is a good quality olive oil. The olive oil takes this fabulous spiced butter and amps it up to a perfect 10. While whipping up your own spiced garlic butter, throw in a few tablespoons of olive oil and everything you slather and saute will definitely cook up easier, tastier, and healthier. Have fun & enjoy!
