I like the 'dancing' version best "Make-Over Methods Dancing Gingerbread Man Roll the cookie dough out on a well-floured surface. Cut out a few gingerbread men using a large cookie cutter. Cut off their legs. Using your fingers spread the bottom of the gingerbread man out to make enough room to cut out two finger sized holes. Using the back of a pastry tip, cut out two holes on the bottom of the gingerbread man. Carefully place them on a cookie sheet and bake. Let cool and decorate. Rudolph the Gingerbread Man Roll out, cut and bake the gingerbread men. Let cool. Using a piping bag with some white frosting in it, draw a big circle covering the head of the gingerbread man. While the frosting is still sticky, dip it in some red sanding sugar to create a big red nose. Pipe on two eyes in the center of the gingerbread man. Starting from between his eyes, pipe antlers up the legs of the gingerbread man. Hugging Gingerbread Man Roll the cookie dough out on a well-floured surface. Cut out a few gingerbread men using a large cookie cutter. Put them onto a cookie sheet. Place a peppermint candy or a sprig of rosemary on the gingerbread man’s chest. Carefully fold his arms over the rosemary or peppermint. Bake in the oven. Let cool and decorate. Drunk Gingerbread Man Roll out, cut and bake the gingerbread men. Remove the gingerbread men from the oven and, while they’re still hot, remove them into a martini glass, mug or, if you’re making them for a crowd, a muffin pan. Allow them to cool in the glass. Once cool, decorate them accordingly. When you’re ready to serve pour some eggnog, hot cocoa or milk over them and serve immediately." IKEA has frozen gingerbread dough in their freezer section. Anyone do cookie exchanges? |
