Although my pet peeve is people who rate a recipe after they have changed it beyond all recognition I realise I am going to do the same with this one!! I used half butter half shortening because I ran out and my two year old who was helping decided he wanted gingerbread men once the dough was made so we added 1tsp ginger, 1 of cinnamon and 1 of allspice. A fab recipe though which was so easy to use as a base! Thanks for the tip about rolling out between paper, it worked like a treat and I now don't have to clean up a flour-dusted toddler, always a bonus!!!
