I had to make my own gingerbread spice mix, since I couldn't find any at the store, but I love this recipe! I made some tweaks on my second batch, and I'm planning to make little grab bags of this for friends and family this Christmas. I think my second batch didn't quite have the full volume of nuts that the recipe calls for, but I think that helped their texture in the long run. I also added some freshly ground nutmeg and extra ground ginger to the glaze, and added in the sesame sticks a little earlier to try to let more of the glaze adhere to them before it finished cooking. I like them to be a bit more zesty, and 100% crunchy- NO chew! Great recipe with room for creative variations :)
