Learn to make decorated gingerbread men in this cookie decorating tutorial!
I'm hesitant to declare anything ironic ever since Alanis put one hand in her pocket...but there is a good chance that this one fits. I wanted to give you guys a suuuuuuper quick and easy design to ease your late-night stress and last minute orders. So I baked up these gingerbread guys late at night along with another order I was making. And in my late-night-early-morning-who-even-knows-at-that-point-of-the-day haze... I weirdly iced them all white.
After sleeping off my decorating hangover for a few hours, I ate some actual food that wasn't made of sugar and food coloring and realized my mistake. No big deal though, right? I had some leftover dough... I'll just bake a few more. Which I did. And then weirdly decorated every last one of them...not leaving a single blank cookie for a tutorial. But I was determined to make a tutorial for you. Because they are totally adorable. So I made a new batch of dough...vanilla this time...but weirdly doubled the baking powder and forgot the eggs. Turns out -- that does NOT make for good cookies. At that point, I admitted defeat and gave up for a few days and tried to actually sleep. I came back a week later and FINALLY made you a tutorial for what I consider to be... ironically (RIGHT!?)... the easiest gingerbread men cookies ever.
They are so easy that there are only two steps. So I skipped straight to a video for you.
