The Best Thermomix Gingerbread Cookies
No Christmas is complete without a killer Gingerbread recipe and this is that recipe. They are so flipping cute, and the fragrance has filled the kitchen all day and now you can smell them still even though they are baked and under a dome. YUM. I love this recipe. It has depth of flavour. If you are going to have a gingerbread, then yes please, let's taste the ginger! Thank goodness for doTERRA oils. They will give you a kick in the mouth that dry spices cannot deliver. If you wish to leave them out, do so, but trust me. You need the oils.
Merry Gingerbreading.
