Hi Blessed Homemaker,
Your Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies look very cute & well decorated.
Merry X'mas & Happy New Year to you and your family :)
hello, i tried making these cookies today as i thought they looked lovely. I'm not sure why and how, but the cookies turned out very thick, not as thin as those in the pictures. I'm unsure of the reason as i followed the recipe exactly. Also, the cookie batter was very dry and kept cracking, was there too much flour? Do you know the reason why this happened? Thanks for the recipe anyway:]

MH,
Did you managed to buy the cookie cutter?
Pearlyn & DG,
Ooops, I'm late but Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
Irene,

Pei Lin,
I think besides spices, most Asians don't like chewy cookies, they prefer crispy ones.
mywy,
Your dough is too dry. Try adding more water (1 tablespoon at a time) and knead till you get a smooth dough. Try to roll your dough thinner next time.
how to make the sugar syrup?
I bought the syrup from Phoon Huat
