Gingerbread men

DS has been begging me to make gingerbread men - no idea where he heard about them

Do they have pre-made gingerbread men, or a really good mix? I am not known for my baking skills

Also, I don't have a piping kit, and don't want to buy one - will it actually work if I put frosting into a ziploc and cut a tiny hole?

For the "novice" you can use this:


and then use this:



and yes, ziplock with a tiny hole will work just fine! Happy baking/decorating!!!!

I just bought 4 boxes of gingerbread men from Little Debbie at the supermarket. I'm bringing them to his class tomorrow for storytime. Pepperidge Farm also makes gingerbread men cookies. Trader Joe's also has an awesome gingerbread men cookie box. You should have no problem finding any pre made

If you want to decorate them easily, buy the Betty Crocker Cookie Icing...you squeeze it right from the container (it has a tip on it) and it hardens on the cookies...you just buy the colors you want!

Trader joes has awesome gingerbread men, no decorating required!

Re: Gingerbread men
