Gingerbread Men on Steroids
Just think, if they get cranky or cheat at baseball you can bite their heads off.
This was Nana's recipe for gingerbread men. Back in the day, Mom and I would make 6 batches for the Moultonborough Elementary School Christmas Fair each year and they would sell out instantly. They're very cakey, so use a big cookie cutter. I roll them out to 3/8 inch thickness, and that makes a mighty fat cookie. We would decorate them with buttercream frosting, cinnamon hots and silver dragees. They freeze pretty well. As you can see, Mom didn't write down the oven temperature or baking time since she kept most information in her head, so I'll have to figure that out tomorrow when I make them, and let you know. Until then....
