Gingerbread Men 🍪
It’s day two of 12 DAYS OF COOKIE RECIPES with lifeandsprinkles 🎄🍪
These are so nostalgic and perfect to make with the kids during school break!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup molasses
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1 tsp salt
Royal icing
Mini M&M’s
Place the butter, sugar, molasses, and eggs into a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy.
Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl. Mix until well incorporated and a dough has formed.
(It will be a bit sticky at this stage)
Wrap the dough in cling wrap, flatten into a disc, and place into the fridge for at least two hours to chill.
Roll the dough on a floured surface and cut out gingerbread men.
Place onto a lined baking rack and bake for about 10 minutes at 350F. (Bake longer if you prefer a crunchy cookie)
Allow cookies to cool, then decorate with royal icing and mini M&M’s.
