Make It!

BEAT margarine, sugar and dry pudding mix in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs. Mix all remaining ingredients except icing. Gradually add to pudding mixture, beating well after each addition. Refrigerate 15 min.

HEAT oven to 350°F. Roll dough between 2 sheets of parchment or waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into gingerbread-man shapes with 3- to 4-inch cookie cutter, rerolling dough scraps as necessary. Place, 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheets.

BAKE 10 to 12 min. or until edges are lightly browned. Let stand on baking sheets 3 min.; transfer to wire racks. Cool completely. Decorate with icing.

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.
