Chocolate Gingerbread Men image

I have made these delicious cookies for almost 10 years at Christmas. The chocolate and gingerbread flavors blend nicely and the dough bakes up chewy. They are cookie cutter cookies so you can make shapes with the dough. I always use the gingerbread man cutter and I never decorate them but that is an option. Children of all ages...

1/2 c butter or margarine, softened
3/4 c dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c dark corn syrup (i substitute with agave nectar)

1/2 c cocoa powder
1 tsp ground ginger

  • 3. Add flour, cocoa, and spices, stir until well blended, adding more flour if necessary to make a stiff dough.
  • 4. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.

  • 6. Cut out with desired cookie cutters and place on ungreased baking sheets.
  • 7. Bake in a preheated 325-degree oven 8 to 12 minutes.
