They’re great plain, spread with cream cheese (pumpkin cream cheese, in particular), or dipped in coffee.
(I tried shaping them into gingerbread men and Christmas trees with a cookie cutter, but found that the dough wouldn’t hold its shape coming out of the mold. So I settled for simple round shapes. Still tasted great!)
