Leaving dough sandwiched between parchment layers, stack on cookie sheet and freeze until firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Working with one portion of dough at a time, roll ¼-inch thick between two large sheets of parchment paper. Scrape dough onto work surface divide in half.With machine running, gradually add molasses and milk process until dough comes together.Add the butter pieces and pulse until mixture is sandy and looks like a fine meal- no big clumps.In food processor workbowl fitted with steel blade, combine the flour, sugar, spices, salt, and baking soda and process until combined, just a few seconds.I’m definitely making this recipe a staple in my Christmas Cookie repertoire- who knows, maybe I’ll try to tweak my Mama’s healthier recipe for my kids someday, but for now this is a hands-down fave! (Most recipes require hours of chilling time, I appreciated how quick this was!)
The dough is rolled out between two sheets of parchment and chilled- making it pretty quick before they’re ready to roll out and cut. Everything is cut together with a food processor creating a sandy mixture and then the wet ingredients are added. This recipe uses a bit of an unconventional method for making the dough. The flavor is awesome with lots of spice and what can I say? It just makes me so darn happy to see these smiling faces looking up at me. I’m sure you know what’s next- that I found them in this awesome recipe! These are so chewy it’s crazy and they hold up great for decorations and handling. So, we tried to sub out the honey for real sugar and they were crispy, (which I don’t care for.) So, I had kinda given up finding my perfect Gingerbread Man, crisp edges, and super soft & chewy middle, (that don’t fall apart!) They were soft, but almost too soft, always leaving a broken arm or head hanging around. Her healthier version used whole wheat flour and honey to sweeten and I loved them. Am I right? They have been my favorite holiday cookie since I was a little girl, and my Mom used to make them every year. Of all the Christmas Cookies out there, we can all agree that no cookie spread is complete without Gingerbread Men.
