These taste like gingerbread in bite size cupcakes and would be great on a cookie tray or for a cookie exchange. They were super easy to make, baked in no time and were eaten up in minutes. Every one who tried them said they were great and came back for seconds. They are from a Land O Lakes Harvest Baking magazine that came out this fall (2010)
