Steps

  • 1

    In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, butter and molasses with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until well mixed. Beat in water and egg until blended. Stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, cardamom and cloves. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.

  • 2

    Heat oven to 350°F. Roll 1/3 of dough at a time on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll.) Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch gingerbread boy or girl cookie cutters. On ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts 1 inch apart. Decorate with currants or candies. Sprinkle with colored sugar.

  • 3

    Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1

    Place the tiny candies or sprinkles onto the unbaked cookies with clean tweezers.
  • tip 2

    Store your gingerbread men in a covered container.
  • tip 3

    We bet you’re wondering if you actually need to chill the dough for an hour in the fridge, and the answer is…yes! Chilling your dough before rolling it out will make rolling and cutting much easier and less messy—which is particularly important if you have little hands helping.
  • tip 4

    Try decorating a Christmas gingerbread man with a piping bag, or sprinkle on red and green sugar for a festive look. Tiny candies work well for eyes or as buttons.
  • tip 5

    Gingerbread freezes well. If you’re anticipating a hectic holiday season, bake a batch now, wrap them up and store in your freezer for up to two months.
