so i decided not to make gingerbread cookies this year, afterall not everyone likes them, i thought as an added bonus my arms wouldnt hurt (rolling out cold gingerbread dough is not easy) so i made the traditional swedish christmas cookies instead, sprintz cookies, which are made with a cookie press. except i have a really old beautiful looking italian one, and now not only my arm but my palm hurts. next year i’ll go back to making little men.
