Oh my gosh! This is scrumptious. Like other reviewers, I couldn't find strawberry extract and instead used 1 tsp. of vanilla. I also only used 1 tsp. cinnamon because a tablespoon seemed like a lot to me. And I had to cook the bread closer to an hour. The only bummer is that when I set the loaves outside to cool for 15 minutes, a racoon ran off with one of them! I guess even the woodland creatures liked it...

I'd give this a 5 on taste, but a 1 on ease. I found the dough EXTREMELY difficult to work with. I chilled for about 3 hours and put in freezer for about 30 minutes. It was a crumbly mess! (And I have plenty of experience with cookie dough.) I could pretty much only roll out enough dough to do one cookie at a time. BUT, they did taste wonderful. I baked them for 7 minutes and halved the amount of ginger and cloves. Not sure I'd try again just because of the hassle.

These cookies were truly spooky looking but really tasty. They were also easy to make and the dough was a cinch to work with. The recipe says it makes 60, but I ended up with 45 cookies which was still plenty. I put a little green food coloring in to make them look grosser. They were a big hit at the party!
