 Topic: Gingerbread men help please
Posted: 23 August 2007 at 9:32am |
Hi there a few years ago (when I was teaching) I made some gingerbread men using a recipe that had butterscotch instant pudding as an ingredient. I've lost the recipe  and am hoping someone here might know of it?
Fingers crossed as I want it for an xmas pressie idea.

I googled it and found this - is it what you were after?
Butterscotch Gingerbread Men
From Best of Country Cookies
The addition of butterscotch pudding makes these a little different than most gingerbread cutout recipes. The recipe comes from my mother-in-law's files.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant butterscotch pudding mix
1 egg
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
FROSTING:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk
DIRECTIONS
In a small mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and pudding mix until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda and cinnamon; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 5-in. gingerbread man cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove to wire racks to cool.
In another small mixing bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Decorate cookies with frosting as desired. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

Cheers thanks! Don't know why I didn't think of googling it! (am planning on giving ingredients pre-measured in babyjars with the cutters to my niece and nephew for xmas then they can make them and decorate with stuff I put with it)

That is an excellent idea! Hmmmm... I might do that for my brother! (Most of my nieces and nephews are too young, and the one that isn't is allergic to dairy and egg)
