Gingerbread Cookies in a Gingerbread Bowl

"I have never made this myself, but found this in a magazine a long time ago (sorry, I have no idea which one). The pictures were so cute; I have no doubt the outcome is worth all the trouble. Prep time is estimated and includes chill time. Does not include time it takes to make additional cookies."
