Notes: I make this into Gingerbread men and other Christmas cut our shapes. I usually decorate the cookies with icing after they cool. Store them in an air tight tin or freeze. I made these for Scott's and Greg's classes every year when they were in elementary school. Everyone loved them. A great Christmas memory for our family. They look nice hung on the Christmas tree too!
