Tips:
- Chill the Dough: After mixing the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This makes the dough easier to roll out and helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Flour Your Surface: Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking and tearing.
- Even Thickness: Roll the dough to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch, to ensure all cookies bake evenly.
- Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they bake. They are done when they are firm and slightly darkened around the edges, which typically takes about 8-10 minutes in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven.
- Cool Before Decorating: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating to avoid smearing the icing.
With these steps and tips, you're now ready to bake a batch of delicious gingerbread men. Enjoy decorating them with your favorite icing and candies, and share them with friends and family to spread holiday cheer. Happy baking!
