I used this recipe this winter when my kids and I had a Gingerbread house decorating party. I tested two different recipes on my kids before the party and this one won. It is a mild gingerbread so kids love it.

These are the BEST gingerbread men I have ever tasted! I used the butterscotch pudding and it was amazing. To the readers that have trouble mixing it: just keep mixing. Eventually it will become the right consistency. There is no need to add additional liquid. These cookies have secured their place on my Christmas cookies list! I also used M&M minis for the eyes and red hots for the buttons, and they made my cookies adorable but didn't take away from the gingerbread flavor. Thanks for sharing!

I would make them a little thicker than 1/4", but they were fabulous!!! They got rave reviews from family and friends.

Eh. I wasn't crazy about the flavor of these. They looked cute, but I probably won't make these again.

I made this for a Kindergarten class, and the kids ate it up! The other teachers, too, couldn't stop raving about it and all of them asked me for the recipe. It's easy and delicious.

Ugh this recipe was a pain. It was easy to get all the ingredients together but I was having a hard time getting the baking time right. I made two whole batches and I think my last couple trays of cookies were okay, but there were countless burned ones and undercooked ones. It was hard to tell when they were "just right" until they were cooled. I'm just making the traditional ones next year.

This recipe made Christmas extra special for me and my grandchildren. These cookies were easy to make. I didn't make the royal icing in time so they didn't have all the trimmings, but they had the cinnamon candy buttons. We loved them! This was the first time we ever had homemade gingerbread cookies at our Christmas gathering. Thanks so much, Kim.

I made this with my siblings, younger cousins, and boyfriend and it was fun to make. I did have a problem with the fact that it didn't stick together, but we added extra water (1 tablespoon at a time- couldn't have been more than 4 tablespoons) and let my fellow youngin's get a try at rolling the dough out and cutting out the shapes with the cookie cutter. No one wanted to eat them because they were so adorable after decorating them with gumdrops, M&M's, Mini Kisses, and different colored icing. We had so much fun food coloring the icing! Eventually, everyone got a taste of them and gobbled them up. We didn't get many cookies though. Next time will make more batches at a time.

Awesome! Best Gingerbread Ever! Not at all like concrete, soft and chewy, delicious! Will probably add a bit more Ginger next time and maybe some cloves!

WOW!! The best gingerbread cookie I've ever made. Not good for houses-too soft but as a cookie perfect, easy to make, stores well & freezes well. Made a triple batch then had to make another double batch just before Christmas since my family kept sneaking them before I made up my cookie trays. People are calling me raving about the gingerbread men- Thank you!! This is surely a keeper!

These went over really well and aren't too strongly flavored. Pretty easy to make but I could not chill my dough very long because it made it too hard to roll out. I will most likely make these again next year, which is the best compliment.

My 4-year-old son and I made these for Santa. He had a blast rolling out the dough, cutting out the men, and then decorating them after they were cooked. We taste tested them and they were delicious. I think Santa liked them too because there were only crumbs left on Christmas morning.

OMG! These are fantastic! The only problem I had was I didn't make enough. Even my 16-year-old daughter, who doesn't like gingerbread, loves them. I didn't change anything in the recipe -- the cookies are not too gingery, easy to make, and taste incredibly yummy! Enjoy!
