If you're looking for a sturdy dough suitable for making gingerbread houses and ornaments, try our Gingerbread for Building recipe.
For just plain eating, this gingerbread is delicious. It can be rolled and cut into any shapes you like, although gingerbread men (not to mention women and kids) are the traditional holiday treat.

Cream cheese gives sugar cookies a marvelous flavor. It also makes the dough softer and stickier. The dough needs to be cold when these are rolled out; if it begins to stick, return it to the refrigerator for a while.
This dough is used in Shining Star Cookies.

Instead of serving Mom coffee in bed, serve it to her in the form of a sophisticated cookie drizzled with chocolate. We don't know too many Moms who can resist a combination like that.

Painting these cookies with the colored glaze is optional, of course,
but makes them pretty, fun, and seasonal. This is a good project to do
with children.
