I Love Gingerbread Men!!

All of 'em, all sizes, all genders. I grew up making many, many cookies with my sister and mother, and have never really slowed down. So far this year I've made 8 batches of cookies, and I have two left to go. Is that kind of insane for a family of two? I don't think so. I pass the cookies around during the holidays and serve them at all the Christmas functions. But I have to admit I have a favorite. What's funny, is that I use a different recipe every year because I can never seem to find the same one year to year.

This year I used Martha Stewart's Basic Gingerbread People recipe, and boy was it easy. In the past I've made recipes with crystalized ginger and other crazy ingredients, but this one was just plain and normal. The cookies have a wonderful bite of spice, and the chilled dough was very easy to work with. Husband and I decorated last night, and while I like to keep mine simple with just faces and buttons, he has more fun. See the little man in the upper right with the scar on his chest. He looks scared. Was it open heart surgery or a puck to the sternum? We'll never know.
