Put me in my fluffy robe and slippers, sit my butt on the couch with a pan of these and a big glass of cold milk and I'd be a very happy Pokey!!!

PS: the "Buon Natale cookies" turned out good. maybe my dough was too dry? i took your hint and had only 2 break apart. i figured out if one broke..i "glued" it back together with the white icing

Palma,
do you cook the gingerbread cheese cake with 2 layers of foil wrapped around it? or is that just for cooking the crust? thanks!

Geri,
YES for the foil, so the water bath doesn't leak through!
