Are these really gingerbread? I remember them being white...not brown and not tasting like regular gingerbread cookies that we had just the other night.

They will be "off white" with light brown bottoms. I guess they are called gingerbread 'cause of the ginger she put in. That's what everyone in the family has always called them. Ask Polly or Betty or even "wierd Bob" or Ann Barney, but that's all I have ever heard.
