I recommend making 1/2 inch balls...the 1-inch balls make too big of a cookie. The 1/2 inch balls yield more cookies, and are more "bite-size" for kids (and even adults). I added red and green food coloring to give them a festive look for Christmas. Very yummy!

These cookies were a big crowd pleaser. I loved them and so did everyone else.

i thought i was making 1 inch balls, but the recipe only made about 10 cookies. since it didnt make that much, i didnt want to eat 1 so i brought it to a holiday potluck and i was told they were fantastic! didnt have any to bring home. also wanted to say they're pretty easy to make. next time i'll make them even smaller to see if they make more.

I couldn't find the gingerbread dough, so we used sugar cookie dough and we used 1/2 vanilla, 1/2 almond extract. But the cookies are delicious anyway!
