Here’s a step by step on how to make simple gingerbread men cookies. I had so much fun making these little guys. It made the whole house smell like Christmas. Not only did the cookies looked great, they tasted good too! If I can make gingerbread men cookies, anyone can. Music by Kevin MacLeod

Gingerbread Men Recipe
good
the only recipe i need is where to get that damn cutter. cant find it anywhere.
For all the people asking about how much butter they should add, if you look carefully you’ll see that each butter stick in the video weights 113 grames, so you should add 225 grames or 8 OZ. if you’re using english units
I have two questions: can I use honey instead of molasses? Because molasses isn’t common at all in our country.
The second one: how much does a stick of butter weigh in your country? Over here it’s 200 grams. I’m just trying to figure out how much to use.
@Aelithe123 Ah allready heard u say it, sorry!
@lalilalila
Thanks a lot!!
In Germany we also use Celsius, but i’ve never done any cooking so i was confused.

@DoublM7 it must be fahrenheit because in my country we use celsius and the usual top temperature is 250ºC for cooking. it’s impossible that 350 is in C
@desertnut
I’m sorry but do you mean 350 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius?
@desertnut And does this flour mixture include the vanilla extract? Because you didn’t mention this at all
Why does she want to transfer them to Iraq!?
@joanniechonganan Yes, icing always hardens after a while.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I’m from The Netherlands so it’s really hard to find some one who knows how to make these cookies.
Hello, sorry I feel bad because there are so many questions but does anyone know how many grams two sticks of butter is? Thanks
@ramonaomidvar Molasses are very important in making gingerbread men for the texture and general taste. If you want that traditional gingerbread taste and feel to your cookies, then you’ve got to use molasses.
Unfortunately, they’re tough little rotters to get hold of, so you can substitute it using the same quantity of light treacle/golden syrup
hi can i ask u couple of questions?
1) what is molasses and what is its pupose in general and for the gingerbread dough?
2) if i dont have this molasses can i substitute it for somthing else or is it important? or can i just leave it out and if i do how will it taste different/
thanks!
how many gingerbread can u made from the recipe?
hi….one stupid question! after the icing has been decorated,it will harden in time?
I love this type of food mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
i just baked your cookies ! and sad to say i didnt taste any ginger
tasted like molasses ……… kindof. 
i made GBM today, my dough came out a lot darker and molasses smell was bit over powering so i was worried that it might be too sweet, but OMG! they came out so perfect!!!! nice ginger smell, not too sweet, just perfect!!! Thank you so much!!!!:D i will follow this recipe again!!!!!
She does tell you when to add all the ingrediants…just followed her video …when i realized that it does not tell you when to at the nutmeg, cinnamon or ground clove.
You can use honey instead.
I’m from italy and here mollasses it’s impossible to find in shops. How i can make myself or with what ingredient i can change? please it’s urgent
HOW MANY GBMEN DOES THIS MAKE?
Allison-
I assume this is an american recipe, therefore it would be 1 cup of butter. if you are weighing the butter it would be a 1/2 pound.
I hope this helps!
@healthyvegan
I just took a look and clicked on AUDIO
and maybe you should dub your videos at the beginning and “stirring” sections with that song “CALL ME”.
and at the end give them a music credit… I just HATE IT when great music goes to waste
(IF ANYONE IS READING):
GROUP: After Four
……
website: AfterFour dot ca
……
SOUND: Manhattan Transfer, Shopping music of the 60s kind o sound… whatever your music taste is, YOU WON’T BE BORED …I PROMISE YOU, I PROMISE you , I promise you!
@DoshUnScripted Yeah, head over to AfterFour dot ca if you want one of their cd’s
I’ll tell them you liked their music, they’ll be very happy – and yeah, Manhattan Transfer is one of their influences 
Does your family have a web site where you can buy their music…?
They sound really good, like the Manhattan Transfer !
@KHfanguy it must be a sign… hope you enjoy! I’m about to make another batch for Christmas dinner
coolio, havent had gingerbread in sometime!
@Livna2707 Lucky you! Phil & his dad love my gingerbread, so I have to keep making it… luckily I have fun making it, when I get the time.
@monodentate Thanks for watching – the 1/4 cup of oil in the recipe is much lower than most other cookie recipes, and actually I usually only use a couple of tablespoons and they turn out just as nicely. Some saturated fat in your diet is necessary for certain functions in your body so don’t be afraid of it as long as you don’t overdo it. The type of saturated fat in coconut oil is different than the type of saturated fat in animal products. Hope you enjoy the cookies!!
@iDiggMGL haha… perfect! So glad I could help, and with good timing. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine does – Phil’s dad is addicted I think
@MrsBrettBretterson You can use olive oil if you like – the molasses & spices will totally mask the flavor of olive oil
@sewmommysew Thanks, I just finished eating one, so good… Now, for whole spelt berries you will need a proper grain mill. I have tried grinding whole grains in a coffee grinder (burnt out the motor) and a blender (didn’t get down to flour consistency)… just doesn’t work. A flour mill will work, but if you don’t have one they’re kind of pricey. If anyone else has tips, please post – otherwise I think you’ll have to get some flour instead… But any whole grain flour will work wonderfully
Delicious!! Thx for this video.
This looks so good I am a huge fan of gingerbread! Thank god my family hates it so I can eat them all lol! Have a nice day bye
Great recipe but are they really low fat since coconut oil has saturated fat in it?
OMG THANKS SO MUCH HEATHER!!!!!! My family is having a cookie exchange on X-Mas and everybody has to make their own cookies but I didn’t know what to make. Since I’m the only vegan in the fam, atm, i also didn’t know who to ask but here comes Heather to the rescue!!!!!
Yay! I’ve been craving gingerbread cookies! I think I’ll make a gingerbread house tomorrow. Do you know of any substitutes for the coconut oil?
awesome!!
AWSOME!! they look great . i have a question though.. i have whole spelt berries do i just grind them to make spelt flour or do i need to soak them dry them then grind em? anyway these look great cant wait to try them!
