For eating (rather than building), 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.
Holiday cookies
Viennese Marbled Hussar Cookies
Marbled with chocolate and vanilla batters and filled with jam, these cookies represent the best of the Viennese pastry tradition.
Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
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.
