These Gingerbread Man Sugar Cookies will certainly land you on the nice list this year with Santa! Make an extra batch for yourself because they are good!
I come from a very large Italian family. I have a total of 28 first cousins and a gazillion 2nd cousins. Everyone seems to have gotten a bit of the food gene. Whether it be baking, cooking, or fishing for dinner, we have always been quite the food centric family.
Recently, my cousin discovered that she enjoyed decorating cookies and let me tell you she is amazing at it! Cookie decorating takes quite a bit of patience and creativity. She has started quite the business on Instagram making and selling cookies for parties, weddings, etc. Check her account out, Sugar Hour Bakeshop, if you are looking for the perfect gift!
Last month we got together to make and film these Gingerbread Man Sugar Cookies. They were so much fun to make. The decoration is simple enough for anyone to do and is too cute! Watch the video below for visual instructions.
