How to Make Puddin Head Gingerbread Men
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 3.4 oz (1 package) instant butterscotch pudding mix until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out a portion of the chilled dough to ⅛-inch thickness.
- Use a 4-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Remove cookies from baking sheets and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the icing: Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice concentrate, and 2-4 tablespoons of water until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Frost cooled cookies using a knife or a piping bag. Decorate with sprinkles, candies, or other desired toppings.
