Jell-O Gingerbread Men
Source: Garden and Health
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Butterscotch Flavor
Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1 egg
2-1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. ground ginger
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Beat butter, sugar, dry pudding mix and egg in large
bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well
blended. Combine remaining ingredients. Gradually add to
pudding mixture, beating well after each addition;
cover. Refrigerate 1 hour or until dough is firm.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured
surface to 1/4-inch-thickness. Cut into gingerbread
shapes with 4-inch cookie cutter. Place on greased
baking sheets. Use a straw to make a hole near the top
of each cookie to use for hanging. Bake 10 to 12 minutes
or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from baking
sheets. Cool on wire racks.
Decorate as desired.
