These bite-sized cookies really pack a big punch. The blend of spices in the gingerbread Christmas trees brings us back to our childhood when gingerbread cookies were baked to hang on the tree. Gingerbread cookies have a perfect bite and are a perfect treat to share with others at any time or make an excellent gift. Lemon and orange peels, as well as pieces of crystallized ginger, were incorporated into the dough to give it texture and bite.
