Gingerbread Cookies with Buttercream Icing
When it’s time to start the cookie-baking season, this recipe always kicks off the festivities. My mother-in-law first shared it with me, but it’s too good to keep to myself! You can tint the buttery gingerbread cookie icing a cheery pink or green and pipe it on with a decorating tip. —Ann Scherzer, Anacortes, Washington

Ive tried this recipe 2x now, thinking I did something wrong the first time. Dough is impossible to roll out.. breaks and cracks. Cut outs fall apart transferring to baking sheet. They puff up and lose shape when baking. Not great, not offensive taste.
Can you freeze these cookies, either plain or iced and ready to go??

Amazing cookies! The absolute best gingerbread ever created!
These are the absolute best gingerbread cookies I have ever had!!!!!!! I put red hots on them instead of the icing and you just can't stop eating them!
I found these several years ago in an old Country Woman Christmas book. I've made them every year since. They're quite good, but for the icing I use only butter and not the butter flavoring, trying to keep from anything artificial. In my opinion, it would ruin them.
