25.01.2022 Our very first cooking video - Ginger Bread Cookies!! And who doesn't love a good cookie. You'll find a list of ingredients in the video and step by step directions to make it super fun and easy for an at home activity with your kids! Some tips from Meg:... - Bake gingerbread one day and ice the next. It keeps really well, so you can spread out this activity. - I usually double this recipe. We love gingerbread in my house and it lasts really well in a container for at least a week. - I add double the amount of ginger. I like a really gingery gingerbread. The icing counterbalances this really well. Have fun, get creative! We'd love to see your end results. Hepburn Libraries or Hepburn Libraries on Youtube for more videos.
