These were awesome cookies!
Easy to make. I ran out of molasses. Only had 1/2 cup. So I substituted 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup real maple syrup for the other 1/2 cup of molasses. “I” could taste the honey, but everyone else didn’t notice.
Great hit, Sunday school class decorated them!!

Thank you for this recipe! We make it with our kids and then they decorate all the cookies. This has been a Christmas tradition for the past 5 years or more.

Hi! I chose this recipe because we share the same name lol But I didn’t think these would be the most amazing and popular cookies I have ever made. I have received dozens of requests to make them again from family, friends, neighbors and coworkers. I enjoy baking what I love and I have stuck to this recipe for years!! I just wanted to say thank you!

Yes! It’s what I grew up with (my mom made royal icing for gingerbread men!) If you’d like more of a glaze I have this recipe too https://www.blessthismessplease.com/sugar-cookie-icing-recipe/

Question: Your link for the Royal Icing takes me to a recipe used for Gingerbread Houses. Is that the same recipe you use to ice Gingerbread Cookies? Thank you!

In reply to Daniela R. You can just freeze it in a big ball and thaw it overnight in the fridge or it takes about 2 hours at room temp to be able to roll it out.

If I were to freeze the rolled and it dough, how long should I let them thaw for and then would I bake them at the regular time and temperature? The BEST recipe for gingerbread men out there!!

This was the first time I made gingerbread with white sugar and with vinegar. Not only are they tender and delicious but maybe even more so than the standard recipe with brown sugar.
