Gingerbread Man Door Cookies

Gingerbread Man Door Cookies are a fun and festive way to celebrate the holiday season! These delightful cookies feature a classic gingerbread flavor and are shaped like adorable little gingerbread men. Perfect for decorating with icing and candies, they make lovely additions to your holiday treats or gifts.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In another large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter and packed brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Molasses and Egg: Mix in the molasses, large egg, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten them into disks, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
6. Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take one disk of chilled dough out of the fridge and on a lightly floured surface, roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness.
7. Cut into Shapes: Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the rolled dough. Carefully transfer the cutouts to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly firm and the cookies are set. Be careful not to overbake; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
9. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Decorate: Once the cookies are completely cool, use royal icing and decorative candies to decorate your gingerbread men as desired.
11. Enjoy or Gift: Once decorated, your Gingerbread Man Door Cookies are ready to be enjoyed or shared with friends and family! They make perfect holiday treats for any occasion.
