We have this tradition with my husband that every year a few weeks before Christmas we organize a gingerbread cookies baking weekend. The house fills with spicy aromas and we get creative in the kitchen by cutting cookies of all shapes and sizes. Yes, we do start with ordinary cookie cutters, my favourite being a moose/reindeer-shaped one I bought in Stockholm years ago, but halfway through the process we attack the dough with knifes and try our hand at creating more complicated shapes – last year I remember making the shape of a sledge pulled by reindeers, with Santa and a bag of presents sitting on top – and you could even recognize the shape once the cookies were baked! A fun and creative Christmas tradition which generates tantalizing and mouth-watering aromas – why not try it?
