Gingerbread Men Cookies
Gingerbread Men Cookies is a classic holiday treat that are made from gingerbread dough and typically shaped like little people. They are often decorated with icing and candy to add a festive touch.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- Icing and candy for decorating (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the molasses and egg, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use gingerbread man cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, you can decorate them with icing and candy as desired.
- Enjoy!
