These are good! Gingerbread people may be fun to decorate and part of the holiday season, but to tell you the truth (and some may agree) they are not always that good; I'm not a big fan (or not a fan at all actually) of molasses, so these are so delicious! Try them and you wont regret; you'll have fun both decorating AND eating!
