Gingerbread cookies

This Christmas I knew I wanted to have gingerbread cookies. I made the dough on Saturday and planned to make the cookies on Christmas eve, so they'll be fresh. I was so busy on Christmas eve that I didn't get a chance to bake the cookies, so I baked them yesterday. I think that they turned out great, so I'll share this recipe with you. I used a recipe from allrecipes, except that I halved it.

(My cookies kind of crumbled when I put them in the cookie jar because I didn't let them cool completely.)
