    Maybe it has something to do with climate, but I followed this recipe and it was not rollable-- i probably added 3/4 cup more flour before giving up and just dropping spoonfuls instead... so very disappointing!

    These were simple to make, very tasty and baked beautifully. And yes, sugar cookie mix. That's Sandra's thing; semi-homemade. That means it's not entirely from scratch. It's not a joke, it's a means to simplify things.

    First ingredient: sugar cookie mix. And this is supposed to be a serious recipe? What a JOKE.

    Super easy to make. I made the dough a few days ago, stored it in the fridge and just rolled them out today. The dough needs to be cold to work with it. My little gingerbread dudes came out great! I will use this recipe and the Royal frosting again next year. The frosting is my new favorite. It hardens on the cookies in a very short period so you can store the cookies the same day.

    Great recipe to use for making gingerbread with the kids.Ingredient list is shorter and dough is less complicated to make.My kids loved them even though we didn't do the icing.I do recommend that you roll the dough out a little thicker otherwise they can be tricky to work with. Definately deliciousness!

    OMG this recipe rocks. My husband and daughter made it for the first time yesterday. These cookis taste great and the dough is not that difficult to work. The only advise i have is for rolling it out. I advise doing this between wax paper that is well flowered. Thanks Sandra.

    Very easy, very delicious. I didn't have a sugar cookie mix, so I just used all of the dry ingredients from my family's favorite sugar cookie recipe. It turned out beautifully. I haven't made this icing, so I can't vouch for that... but the cookie recipe was fantastic. Substantially more moist than the average gingerbread cookie!

    Please keep in mind that I've never made gingerbread cookies before or royal icing. The first batch of cookies I made, I guess I rolled out too thin, because they came out really hard and crunchy. So then the second batch I made, I rolled out much thicker and decreased the bake time to 6-7 minutes and they turned out much better. Oh, the tate of the cookies were really great, even for the first batch. The royal icing was a complete disaster. I only wanted to make half the recipe since it was my first time and another post said that they had way too much from the original recipe. I opted to use the meringue powder. Again, I've never made royal icing before or used meringue powder, but there was something off, the sugar/meringue powder started to clump and make little pebble sized balls. I couldn't get it to smooth out. So, I threw that out and tried again, using a Wilton recipe that came with the meringue powder. This turned out better, but taste was off. I added a little lemon juice but still not much better and it was really thick. I'm not sure what the consistency is supposed to be and I was afraid to add more water. So, after all this, i decided to forego the icing until next time. I'm sure it's not Sandra's recipe and that I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone ahve any suggestions??
