How to Make Gingerbread Men Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup light corn syrup until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out gingerbread men shapes.
- Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with your favorite icing once cooled.
