How to Make Gingerbread Men Pepperidge Farm Copycat By Todd Wilbur

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in ⅓ cup molasses, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
  7. Use gingerbread man cookie cutters (or your favorite shapes!) to cut out cookies.
  8. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. One sheet at a time for even baking!
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
