This is a custom at our house to make gingerbread boys and girls and cut little holes in them and hang them on the tree. This recipe is so easy compared to the way I use to make them. Using the butterscotch pudding is a great idea. We just love them!
YUMMY! Can\'t wait to decorate these. Can\'t believe the "unhealthy" reviews...if that\'s the case...why were they looking at cookie recipes? It\'s Christmas, let\'s splurge!
I must admit when I saw I was to use Butterscotch pudding mix I thought...ew! But I\'m always willing to give most things a try and boy am I glad I did! These are not only moist but surprisingly they don\'t taste at all like butterscotch! They are sturdy enough to hang on the tree and soft enough to eat by the handfuls:) They are definitely on our holiday baking list now.

I made this recipe as a test before I made real gingerbread cookies. Yes, this recipe was easy, but I found that the more thorough recipes bake a better gingerbread man.
Also, if you do decide to use this one, make sure you only bake them for 8-10 min, NOT 10-12 minutes.
I love it and it is really nice i will share it with my daughter she likes to make cookies. I am from Antigua west Indies and I am delightful in having something new for christmas.I loved it. The cookie of itself is not to stiff nor crumbly it\'s just right and i can recommend it to anyone.
This recipe is perfect for great gingerbread men! The only thing I didn\'t like about this recipe is that if you follow the directions EXACTLY, there is absolutely NO need for refridgeration. Just roll it out and off you go! If you put it in the fridge, it gets too hard and you can\'t roll it out, it crumbles and you have to wait for it to get room temperature again so you can roll it out. Otherwise, great for decorating and if you cook it a little less than recommended, you get super soft chewy delicious cookies.
I put applesauce in my gingerbread and it makes the taste a little smoother. Try it and see if you don\'t love it too. I use it instead of the oil. Thanks
I used this recipe, and everyone loves it! The gingerbread cookies are good without any decorations, and still yummy with.
I can\'t wait to make this again - especially this Christmas. Make sure to beat well after each addition, or else the dough turns out slightly... different, I guess (:
I found this recipe last year on Yahoo and made the cookies - I LOVE THEM! This year I have already made several batches of cookies. I can\'t keep them from my husband! They are delicious and a great gift for my son to give! They can be personalized by decorating them to your liking. Make sure you have enough time allocated - the one hour fridge time needs to be considered beforehand. Well worth it!! Yum Yum!
I\'ve never made cookies I had to roll out and cut from dough. I also have never made gingerbread cookies...I guess I found that all a bit intimidating. After making the recipe, I made it again the next day--it was that yummy, simple and FUN! I don\'t care for the taste of butterscotch either..go figure! If only all wonderful recipes were as easy to find;
This is a great recipe! My family loves these. I used christmas cookie cutters and made trees, bells and snowmen. Then decorated them with icing like a sugar cookie YUM! Another thing is I NEVER cook cookies as long as a recipe calls for this way they stay soft. I cooked them 8-10 min and they stayed soft! Very good.
This being my first christmas on my own, I wanted to start some new traditions, and baking cookies just made sense. This recipe is so simple and it tastes fantastic, I will definitely have to try this on again!
We Love It!!!
