Gingerbread Cookies

cookies, brownies, and bars
My favorite stop in Pascagoula  is at Anderson's Bakery for some gingerbread men.  They sell them year-round and I can't stop with just one!   Growing up, the bakery was located across the alley from my elementary school.   Each year, we always hoped to be in a class on the side near the bakery, so we could smell the yummy baked goods cooking all day.  When I was little, it was Cooper's Bakery - it became Anderson's in 1976.
