12 Days of Treats Cookies

Gingerbread Men

Jump to recipe


Gingerbread men are an iconic part of the holidays and this recipe has served me well for decades. Perfectly soft but holds its shape and stays fresh for up to a week in an airtight container though they never last that long here. Making a gingerbread sandwich cookie is our favorite way to enjoy them with a dunk in a pool of milk.

Gingerbread men have been a part of our Christmas tradition since we got married. For me, nothing says Christmas like the smell of molasses, ginger, and cloves filling the air. You can use whatever cookie cutters you have but I’ve always been partial to the traditional. Besides, half the fun is decorating them and giving these guys their own holiday flair! The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.
