December gives many good reasons to bake. One of the reasons could be to set the stage for the festive season. Itβs a wonderful feeling knowing that your pantry is stocked with home baked goodies during Holidays.
Baking reminds me of all my American friends who are so good at baking. Baking comes to them so naturally. One of my friend Amy Salve, who I have known for last 12 years is not only good baker, she also makes the best masala chai and dosas. She is an inspiration in so many ways. I always learn something from her every time we meet. Few years ago, she shared her gingerbread cookie recipe. We even got to bake these together at her place. First hand learning experience !
Since then, we bake these cookies during Christmas break. My kids love these cookies mainly for two reasons -unique flavor and their shape.
