This is the first time I have ever made gingerbread cookies and it will probably be the last. It was tough mixing all that flour into the liquid mixture because I did it manually. The recipe calls for a stand mixer, but I don't have a stand mixer and I didn't want to borrow my daughter's mixer just for these cookies, because I wanted them to be a surprise.
These took a long time for me to make, between mixing the dough and letting it rest for two hours or more, then rolling it and cutting it out, I spent a good 3 hours hands on making these cookies and I didn't really enjoy it.
I didn't decorate my men. I'm not supposed to eat a lot of sugar and these will be sweet enough without any extra icing or candies on them.
In the future, I'll stick with sugar cookies or butter cookies put in a cookie press..
I don't have a picture of my Christmas Tree decoration fail, but I will describe it for you. I drew a Christmas tree shape and I cut out two pieces of fabric. The idea being that I would sew the two pieces together and stuff them lightly with some polyfil, put a dowel stick in the bottom and put it in a small tin pail with some floral foam to keep it up right. My pattern for my Christmas tree was not right and the finished tree looked awful. I scrapped this project. I'm looking for other Christmas decorations to sew.
Here's a picture of some of my Christmas decorations.

Gingerbread men soooo delicious!! Totally didn't need more sugar on them, they were just right. We will get the Christmas-fabric-trees-in-the-stand-done: 2019 goals!
