"I saw the bad reviews on this recipe and I almost didn't try it, but I am so glad that I did! These gingerbread cookies taste so much like the real thing it's uncanny. My daughter has an egg allergy..." See more, so anytime we can do holiday baking together it is such a treat. Thanks for submitting this great recipe!"
