Momma"s Gingerbread Men Recipe - Article taken from Momma Explains. Momma loves Christmas and having some homemade cookies available for guests, but Momma likes simple and fast recipes that deliver on taste. Momma Explains: Over the years a few cookie recipes have become a necessary -must have during the Holidays. I will try to share a few of them with you over the next few weeks. I do not make a huge variety of cookies nor are the recipes complicated, just yummy and of course they taste great with coffee, tea or eggnog. Feel free to enhance the flavor of your beverages with rum, whiskey or anisette. Momma"s Gingerbread Men: 1 cup sugar 1 tbsp ginger 2tsp cloves and 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup dark corn syrup Bring the above ingredients to a slow boil, stir and remove from heat as soon as the sugar dissolves. ( This is pretty fast so keep guard over the pot) POUR hot mixture over one cup of butter, that you cut into chunks, use a heat resistant Pyrex type bowl. Stir mix until the butter melts then let cool to room temperature. After cooling, stir in 4 cups flour which has been combined with 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp. baking powder. Stir well, when evenly mixed, place in plastic wrap and chill for a couple of hours. Take out chilled dough and roll onto a surface dusted with flour and powdered sugar. ( Some people use only flour but I prefer the mix) Then roll out into 1/4 inch depth and cut with your favorite cookie cutters. Bake at 350 F for about 10 minutes. Cool and remove from pan, after thoroughly cooling we use a butter cream icing to decorate the G Men. They look delicious and festive. Kids love to help with these and there are no raw eggs in the batter so if they sneak some dough you do not need to call Poison Control. There are moms who have so do not laugh...my kids are always stealing raw dough and pappa is the worst. Keep Christ in Christmas and enjoy your families Momma"s Gingerbread Men Recipe - Article taken from Momma Explains.
