Anyone like gingerbread cookies?
I just found a super easy recipe on allrecipes.com and I'm going to try them out tomorrow night. If they're good, I'm making them for the kids on Christmas Eve.

'Doesn't need molasses!!!'
Original recipe yield:
2 1/2 dozen
PREP TIME 25 Min
COOK TIME 12 Min
READY IN 1 Hr 37 Min
INGREDIENTS
1 (3.5 ounce) package cook and serve butterscotch pudding mix
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, cream together the dry butterscotch pudding mix, butter, and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon; stir into the pudding mixture. Cover, and chill dough until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets. On a floured board, roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness, and cut into man shapes using a cookie cutter. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are golden at the edges. Cool on wire racks.
**I read the reviews and people were complaining about the dough being too hard, so they cut the flour by a 1/4 cup or added 1/2 cup of butter.
They also added 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Or 1/4 teaspoon ginger + 1/4 teaspoon cinammon for a spicier taste.
