Kraft Kitchens Tips

Fun Idea

To make these cookies into decorations, use a straw to make a hole near the top of each unbaked cookie. Bake as directed. Cool cookies, then decorate and thread a ribbon through the hole in each cookie to use for hanging.

A note from the
Kraft Kitchens Experts

NOTE: make sure to use the Jell-O Cooked Pudding and Pie Filling not the instant pudding product. Quick tips for rolling out dough, butter must be at room temperature, if too hard it will not incorporate the pudding and brown sugar correctly. Make sure the dough is chilled for 1 hour before rolling. Also, flour the surface before rolling out the dough.

" not enough of the old fashion ginger taste and the color of the gingerbread people were not dark enough to contrast the white icing."
