I’ve made multiple variations of molasses and gingerbread cookies over the years.  These are reminiscent of the same flavors.  You don’t even have to be very talented at frosting cookies to make these.  In fact, you can be the cruddiest of cookie decorators and these will still come out pretty. They’re meant to look rustic with the icing drizzled every which way.  A simple addition of sprinkles on top makes them look a little more “decorated” and festive.  You can do it!

Even if you’re not into turning the icing into fancy colors (or if you really just do not want to use food coloring at all), just drizzle white icing on top.  It still makes for a pretty cookie- any shapes you want! These cookies freeze well, so if you want to bake them now… just put them in cookie tins or in a sealed plastic zip baggie and store them in the freezer until the holidays.  They’ll defrost just fine.
