Making Gingerbread Train Cookies
Cutting shapes from rolled gingerbread dough requires chilled dough so that edges remain clean when pressed with metal or plastic molds. Children often help press cutters firmly into rolled surfaces before transferring the shapes onto baking sheets.
The Tradition of Holiday Baking
Rolling dough to an even thickness of about one-quarter inch ensures that every cookie bakes uniformly in the oven. Locomotive designs are popular choices during winter holidays because trains hold historical connections to holiday toy traditions.
