I made my MIL's recipe this week with my Girl Scout troop. It was super easy & turned out well.
Puddin Head Gingerbread Men
1/2 C butter/marg
1/2 C brown sugar
1 - 3 3/4 oz pkg butterscotch pudding mix (not instant)
1 egg
1 1/2 C flour
1 1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Cream butter, brown sugar & pudding mix (dry).
Add egg & cream some more.
Sift dry ingredients together.
Mix dry & wet ingredients
Chill dough for easier handling.
Roll chilled dough to about 1/8" thick on lightly floured surface.
Bake 6-8 minutes at 350
We didn't have time to chill it with the GS & it was a bit finicky. I think chilling it for a couple of hours would be enough or you can leave it overnight.
