After trying several gingerbread spice blends on Pinterest, I got fed up and called my mom. I asked her to send me her gingerbread cookie recipe because to me, THAT is what gingerbread should taste like.
I was blown away how easy and straight forward this recipe was. Every recipe I tried had 5+ ingredients and they all tasted weird. This was it. This was the recipe. And of course it was simple and easy. Thanks, Ma!
Ingredients:
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground clove
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until mixed thoroughly. Store in a sealed, airtight container in a cool dark place.
