  • 6 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  • PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with Reynolds Parchment Paper; set aside. Working with one-fourth of dough at a time, roll out dough 1/4 inch thick between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a 5-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter cut out cookies; place on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake until edges begin to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • CUT fruit roll-up candy into fashionable outfits. Attach outfits to gingerbread men with decorator's icing. Attach mini candies with decorator's icing for eyes, nose, mouth and buttons.
  • WRAP cookies individually in color plastic wrap and tie with a ribbon at the top of each cookie. Place cookies in a basket lined with color plastic wrap. Add a holiday mug to the basket, if desired.
