Gingerbread cookie dough - ideas?

[Anonymous]

Besides gingerbread men, or regular round cookies, what can I do with gingerbread cookie dough? Suggestions?

Any cookie cutter shape will work. We do dinosaurs and other fun shapes. We use cinnamon imperials for eyes and other features.

You could use it as a short crust pie/tart base. Roll it and bake in a pie pan, then fill with a no-bake cheesecake or pudding type filling, maybe something with an eggnog flavor.

You could roll out and bake as a giant cookie, break up and serve over ice cream or pudding. Cookies could form the base of an ice-box cake. Gingerbread house! Bake in lined muffin tins for little tartlets or single serve ice cream/pudding cups.

I had extra that I rolled into balls, stamped with a cookie stamper to make flat circles with a pattern, then dipped the cooked cookies in a powdered sugar glaze. Yummy.
You could also cook them as circles and make ice cream sandwiches with vanilla or toffee ice cream. Or crumble them into a trifle.

I'd roll into logs and then freeze to pull out to bake on a snow day or company coming day. You can roll the logs in sugar (plain or flavored) and then slice into circles.
