I found out by accident that this royal icing recipe is the best copper polish on the planet! I whipped it up in a copper bowl that had been stained, it sat in there a few minutes and was gleaming like new. I have some other copper pieces that had such bad stains I wasn't using them anymore and this removed any stain including stains copper polish couldn't handle. I know this sounds crazy, but use the icing for the best copper polish ever! Also, the cookies were good!

Perhaps I mixed the ingredients out of order, but I followed the directions. The dough came out so dry it crumbled. There was no way to roll it out and therefore, I couldn't make the cookies. The flavor was really good so we were disappointed that we didn't get to eat the cookies. I think the directions on this recipe are too vague. Looking back I would have incorporated dry ingredients into the wet, but the directions say mix it all together so I just threw it all into a bowl and mixed it. I can only assume that's what went wrong.

My 13 year old daughter and I made this cookies last night 12/21/11 and they came out great. It was a very easy recipe to follow and the taste was great. She made them for all of her teachers. We can't wait to make them again.

Perfection! Great taste and super easy. I like using the premeasured sugar cookie mix, saves time and steps. Kids and adults both loved these and I had to make 2 more batches for the ginger cookie lovers!

I was looking for a Royal Icing Recipe and this fit the bill. As one reviewer said it set up very quickly. As for the gingerbread part. Come on Sandra. Just buy the Pillsbury gingerbread dough in the rollfor your semi and the Icing can still be your home made part.

The recipe was (for once exactly as easy to make as it looked on tv! The cookies turned out very deliciously and were a big hit with the family. Great recipe!!

I thoroughly enjoyed making these cookies with my four year old daughter and my two year old son. The recipe was extremely easy and took no time at all the night before Christmas. I had no problem with the recipe but I would suggest that the dough be refrigerated for longer than an hour. I made the dough early in the morning and we made the cookies later on that evening. I noticed that the longer you work the dough the softer and stickier it gets. Thanks for a great Christmas tradition!

This is the 2nd year in a row that I've made these cookies. Last year, I had the exact same issues as this year. The dough is very, very sticky and virtually un-rollable. I added flour, and then more flour and then even more flour as well as flouring my surface and my roller multiple times and still no luck. :( Now, I'm not saying they don't taste wonderful, because they do have a lovely flavor BUT this dough was just a royal pain for me. Maybe I just don't have the baker's instinct or something... What am I doing so wrong??

I'm not much of a baker but I just tried these and they turned out really, really good! My kids love 'em. If I had to make them just for myself, I would probably cut down on the sweetness. But overall, a real winner!

I made these cookies with my three year old son today and they turned out great. My son was eating them faster than I could decorate them. This one is a keeper!
