"This is the best gingerbread recipe I've ever had. My brothers, who aren't much for sweet things, took more than their share at Christmas. My husband and family loved them. The secret ingredient makes these so moist and fluffy, you'll never turn back."

These cookies are easy to make, and I say that because a group of 35 middle school students made gingerbread with this recipe today, and all of them wound up with edible cookies that even looked pretty decent. The taste is mildly spicy and the cookies puffed up but held their shape pretty well.
