These cookies were given to me by my best friend, whose son loves to make them as much as he loves to eat them.
Ingredients
Buttercream Frosting
- 1 (16 ounce) package powdered sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
- 1 stick butter, softened
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon dark corn syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Combine butter and sugar in a bowl.
Step 2
Bring water, corn syrup, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger to a boil in a saucepan. Pour over butter and sugar and beat until blended. Gradually stir in flour and baking soda until dough is smooth.
Step 3
Halve the dough and form into discs. Wrap discs in plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 5
Let dough soften slightly. Roll it out to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough using gingerbread men cookie cutters. Arrange on ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until tops look dry, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
Step 7
Beat powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract together until stiff. Thin mixture out with milk. Spread frosting over cooled cookies.
Cook’s Notes:
You can freeze the dough once it's wrapped in plastic.
