Honeycomb, or Roll Gingerbread

I was intrigued by this gingerbread cookie recipe from The Cook's Complete Guide (1810) – gingerbread cookies rolled like wafers! The historic recipe instructs us to "bake it gently; when hot cut it in squares, and while warm roll it over a stick, like wafers, till cold".

But yet, my gingerbread cookies that I created are flat squares. This is one of those occurences when a historic recipe doesn't turn out as expected the first time around (they instantly cracked and broke when I tried to bend them).This is a delicious lightly flavoured Lemon Gingersnap, so I recommend it, whether it is rolled or flat.
