THE BEST GINGERBREAD COOKIES EVER!!!! We made these cookies and they held up amazing for 9 kids to decorate and have fun with. = They loved them and even the picky kids ate them all up. Too bad there are none left for Santa... The family already ate them all. =

Used my hands to mix and kneed the entire thing. Used 3 1/2 cups of flour as the recipe calls for and my cookies came out just fine! I've never made homemade ginger bread man, but next Christmas I will defiantly make these again! They are delicious ! And soft in the inside too! For the royal icing, I used an old recipe of mine instead (since I couldn't find meringue powder anywhere The icing I made was 2 cups of confectioners sugar, 3 T. of milk, 1 t. of vanilla extract, and mix ... add water to get to the thickness you want it to be at

I used a stand mixer and the dough was not dry or crumbly. Tastes delicious. I decorated with storebought frosting and candies and this was an easy, delicious treat.

The first time the dough was way to crumbly. Made it again using 3 cups flour instead of 3 1/2 cups, and the dough was just perfect and the cookies turned out great. Cut the amount of flour.

If your dough came out dry and crumbly then work it with your hands. Knead it like a regular dough or even think of it as play doh. The warmth from your hands and from kneading will make everything come together.

These cookies turned out great! I was not sure if I wanted to make them because of all the negative reviews that had been posted, but I am glad that I did. The dough was slightly crumbly at first, but it did come together. I baked each tray for 9 minutes and the cookies came out on the softer side, and were a hit with everyone.

I thought these cookies turned out really well. They are intensely crispy, (Think gingersnap and very flavorful. I'm quite certain you could make a stable gingerbread house with this dough.
The dough was easy to work with. My gingerbread cookie cutter was a bit smaller than the one pictured on the recipe, so I got about 6 dozen cookies, rolling the dough just under 1/4 inch thick. I used a different royal icing recipe than what was suggested with this recipe.
I will make these again, and everyone that has tried these so far really likes them.
I did not have the dry or crumbly issues that others have commented on at all. They are just as the recipe title suggests: Perfect Gingerbread Men!

I get the Foodnet magazine and thougt I would try this recipe out. The dough was dry and crumbled. Thought putting it in the refrigerator for the two hours would bring it together and add moisture. Nope! Ended up thowing it out.
