Yep, it's that time of year...Christmas! I absolutely love gingerbread, but most of my family does not so I can not make a full batch of regular cookies, or I would eat all of them. I created this recipe today and I am very happy that now I can have my gingerbread men. I kind of want to call these Gingerbread Lifters, because their arms are pretty muscular. Honestly, it takes a while to make the men because the dough is too sticky to roll out so I actually made heads, then attached bodies, then arms, then legs. Next time I will probably just leave them in balls.
