gingerbread men

MAKES 32 (31/2-INCH) MEN

ACTIVE: 30 MIN TOTAL: 1 1/4 HR

1 package Gingerbread Men Mix

1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter,
cut into small pieces

1 large egg

1/4 cup molasses

11/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1. In a food processor, pulse the gingerbread
mix, butter, egg, molasses and vanilla until
a smooth dough forms. Divide dough into
quarters and flatten each into a 1-in.-thick
disk.

2. Place one portion of dough between 2
sheets of wax paper; roll to 1/8 in. thick. Repeat
with remaining dough. Refrigerate until firm,
about 30 minutes.

3. Heat oven to 350°F. Working with one sheet
of dough at a time, flour a 31/2-in. gingerbread
man cutter and cut out cookies. Using a
cookie spatula, transfer to cookie sheets.
Gather and reroll dough scraps, refrigerating if
necessary before cutting.

4. Bake until the cookies are set and the
edges are beginning to brown, 8 to 10
minutes. Let cool on the sheet for 3 minutes
before transferring to a wire rack to cool
completely.
