Awaken your tastebuds (and possibly a hungry Yeti) with this om-nom-nominable gingerbread cookie recipe.
Horizontal Version
Since the sweet success of the last illustrated recipe, Magically Royal Icing, it was pretty much a no brainer to create another for you to enjoy. This time we’ve ramped up the efforts to bring an animated version along with a separate, printer-friendly version.
Feel free to share your thoughts below and share either version of the recipe wherever you like!

Hi Marian!
Your yeti-approved cookie recipe is adorable! (I specially love that man skiing in the animated version.. it’s so fun!)Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll print it right now!
I want also thank you for all this year of sweet moments… You sweet my life when I’m down! Thank you Sweetopia team!
Happy new year!
Best wishes form Spain.
Cute
I have a question. As I mentioned in my previous comment, I made ginger bread houses (4) thanks to you & kids enjoyed decorating them with loads of sweets. It was FUN!!!
But, the houses became a little soft & I was worried that they may break. Luckily they didn’t, still I wonder why it was not crispy??
After making the houses, I left them open (since I didn’t have BIG air tight containers to store them)till the party which was scheduled the next day.
Any advice to keep them crispy?
Marian, thabk you so much for another recipe and for the lovely design and animation
)))) Happy New year!!!!
@ Roshini:
After I make all the pieces for my house, I put them back in the oven after I cut it off. They stay in the oven as it cools and they harden. I do this because I live in NC and we have humid weather.
so cute, I so want to try making gingerbread one day, it may be summer before I actually get to it.
ohhh how much I love it!
Arthur, you are THE MAN right here! The man who creates such cute, fairytale like illustrations.
It makes me happy inside to look at it, so thanks for this great piece of art

Love both – thanks. I was just wondering if you can convert the butter and flour measurements to cups/spoons. I don’t have a kitchen scale and am mathematically challenged. Thanks!
Easily the most adorable recipe I have ever seen. Especially the animated version – eeeeee!
I tried two gingerbread recipes this holiday, and yours was the better one! I will keep using it even after the holidays! It’s a great tasting cookie and so moist. we used it for mini gingerbreads houses and gingerbread men. When I rolled it thinner, it made a nice crispy cookie! Yummy! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe.
love it .
Dear Marian, it’s very hard to find molasses in my country, how can I replace it by brown sugar or smthing else? in what proportion should it be? 1 cup molasses = 1 cup brown sugar?
Thank You
HI @ Kate: I asked the same question on Dec. 19th/12 and got lots of information there if you’d like to check it out;

Thanks, @ Isabel!
Hi @ Roshini, sorry for the delayed reply. Humidity plays a huge factor, and, even in a cold climate or in the winter season of a warmer climate, humidity can play a factor. Humidity can still be high even though it’s cold. Just before Christmas we had 88% humidity here (even though there was snow on the ground), and my friend was having trouble with her gingerbread houses drying. She dug out her de-humidifer and presto, problem solved.
Check your weather network for humidity percents
Happy new year to you, @ Tesei!
What a FABULOUS tip, @ Denise Thaxton! I will try that – thanks!
Better late than never, @ Sue @ Cakeballs, cookies and more.
Thanks for your feedback, @ niner bakes // ninerbakes.com; I always appreciate your candidness. Happy new year to you and all the best in 2013! xo
Thanks so much, @ Maria Theresia, @ Vane and @ Kelly!
So glad you like it, @ Kathy!
ok, this is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I love the animation and the easy to follow instructions! so cute, Marian
I have to show this post to my boys. It’s SO creative and fun!
Adorable. Completely.
What a fun recipe! I just hope I don’t have to hide my gingerbread cookies from the yeti after making them! :
TOO cute! Love this!
Super cute–wish I had a Yeti to approve my cookies!
This is absolutely adorable. Would be a perfect as a gift in a jar with the dry ingredients added. Thanks so much for the cute idea. Love the yeti–wish I had one!
I love these illustrated recipes, Marian! You are one talented woman!
LOVE these easy to follow directions!! So cute – I want to frame it and put it in my kitchen!
Thanks for all your comments!! xo
Love this recipe. My grandchildren and I watched the video.
Were making gingerbread tonight. You simplified the
instructions with your illustrations. My 10 year old
wants to try it herself. You have made a recipe that all
ages can follow. Congratulations.
thank you so much, you are a very special person.!!!!!!!!!
What is the cups measurement equivalent for the butter and flour? Thanks!
This gingerbread recipe looks wonderful enough to try. A lot of people are making short cuts to making gingerbread cookies and houses. Gram crackers are the substitute because some feel gingerbread has a strong taste for kids.
That’s so great to hear, @ Pat! I hope you all had lots of fun!
Thanks for the comments, ladies! xo
