Why this is the only soft gingerbread cookie recipe you’ll ever need:
Decorate your German Gingerbread Cookies however you want – think gingerbread men or little Christmas bunnies!
to do so and found it really easy to work with! You can also use a piping bag or a little freezer bag to do so! Simply cut off the corner tip, trying to keep the hole as small as possible.

Recipe Notes
Store the bunnies in cookie tins.
Adding an apple slice or a piece of bead helps to keep them soft. Do not forget to replace the apple slice regularly.

Liebe Kiki,
oh, wie süß! Die kann man ja gar nicht essen, so niedlich sehen die aus. Besonders das Bild mit der Trommel ist der Hammer! Mit dem Apfel in der Dose muss ich auch mal testen. Habe ich jetzt schon öfter gehört.
Dir auch noch einen schönen Sonntag Abend!
Liebe Grüße,
