These adorable mini gingerbread men cookies are perfect for the holiday season. They're spiced just right and make for a fun and delicious treat.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed. 1/4 cup molasses. 1 egg. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon ground ginger. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Icing sugar, for decorating.
Instructions: Mix the brown sugar and butter in a big bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix the egg and molasses together by beating them in well. Put the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a different bowl and mix them together with a whisk. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least an hour. Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut shapes out of cookie sheets that look like little gingerbread men and put them on the baking sheet that has been prepared. For 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. You can add faces, buttons, and other details to the cookies with icing sugar after they are completely cool.
