It’s easy to make gingerbread people — just make sure they don’t run away!

Ingredients
    • 3½ cups Pamela’s Bread Mix
    • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
    • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¾ cup molasses
    • 12 tablespoons butter or margarine, chilled
    • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
    • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
    • 2 tablespoons milk
Directions

    Preheat oven to 350°. Use HEAVY DUTY STAND MIXER and paddle. In mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (you will not use the yeast packet included in the small bag of Bread Mix). Add butter and mix well. Add molasses and milk, and mix to combine thoroughly.

    Divide dough and roll to 1/4 inch between two layers of parchment paper. Freeze for 15 minutes. Remove top sheet of each and cut out cookies and remove excess dough. Bake on parchment on cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes until edges begin to brown for soft cookies.

    For crispy cookies, roll thinner to 1/8th inch and bake for 14 to18 minutes. Scraps can be rolled and cookies cut out again.

I wonder if anyone at Pamela's actually tested this recipe?

This recipe does not make gingerbread cookies as per the accompanying picture.

I had to throw away an entire batch.

TWEAK IT: 8 TBSP instead of 12.

Impossible to use cookie cutters with the original or tweaked recipe but tweaked will yield a great, thick gingerbread sheet that can be sliced into bars.

      HI Phoebe - All of our recipes are tested by Pamela and her test bakers to ensure they work. That being said, everyone bakes differently and a lot of factors come into play for the end result. Sometimes you may choose to tweak a recipe to suit your personal tastes. Denise, Customer Service

Mine turned out more like gingersnaps however that was not a bad thing. Enjoyed them very much and they had nice taste and texture. Will make again.

Our family tried this recipe the other day and the results were fantastic! We have never made gingerbread men before and my daughter who is 5 really wanted to try, she also has celiac disease so gluten free was a must. Using the bread mix was the easiest way to accomplish this without having to buy all different kinds of flour. The cookies were a total success! Definatly a new tradition we will be carrying on for years!

These are THE BEST! They taste fantastic and the texture is identical to regular gingerbread cookies. We were even able to use this recipe to make a gingerbread house last year. The freezing step before cutting is very important, as is the heavy duty stand mixer.
