Gingerbread Christmas Cookies

The first cookie on the plate was gingerbread cookies...a Christmas classic.  I used the same gingerbread dough I used for the Christmas tree cookies to make these.  However, I left off the icing, because I thought they tasted better plain.  To make them I just used the smallest snowflake cutter and made a ton of the 1.5in (or so) diameter cookies.  A perfect size for a cookie plate, I think--they aren't so big as to overwhelm the rest of the cookies, nor are they so small as to get lost.

P.S.  I forgot to take a photo of these separately, sorry.  But you can see them on the plate or the tree (this batch didn't have the holes for hanging, of course).
