Hello,
It depends on what cutters you are using, approximately you will get 10 large, 20 medium or 30 small cookies from this recipe.

Hello Sarah,
I have the same problem when I use Lindy’s recipe, I add quite a lot more liquid, it may be my scales! Don’t knead it too much as this will make it tough. The mixture will be quite sticky if you are adding extra milk but will make good cookies.

Hi Lindy, I made your gingerbread cookie recipe last night after attending your class last week. I followed the recipe but the dough was very crumbly. i added another 1.5tbsp of milk and chilled it for 40mins. When I came to roll it out it just crumbled. I added quite a bit more milk and it did work but should I have to add that much milk? What sort of texture should the dough be like before you chill it? Thank you very much

Hello Paula,
You can store your cookies in an airtight container before covering with sugarpaste or you can freeze them for up to a month.
Hope this helps

Hi Jen
You can make your cookies a few weeks in advance. What I would do is let the icing dry on the decorated cookie and then pop each in its own cookie bag and seal it with a ribbon. Commercially cookies are dried in drying rooms but this makes them hard to bite into! It really depends on how you like your cookies as to what you do, I prefer mine slightly softer and find that by putting sugarpaste onto a dry cookie softens it just enough to give a very pleasant eating experience!
If in doubt experiment a little before hand.
Hope this helps
Lindy
