Gingerbread Men

One of the plan in keeping the kids busy is to do baking. So, today, for the first time, we baked gingerbread men. I was pleased with the result. I goggled the recipe last week, and only had the chance to buy all the ingredients today. I had to buy the ginger men mould too. I prepared the dough while the kids were in school. When they got home, we finished the baking together. The kids enjoyed printing the cookie cutter, use the roller pin and of course the decoration.
The taste was good. The cookies were moist and soft and not too sweet. The only complain I have is the colour is not brown enough. Maybe because I use molasses sugar instead of dark brown sugar. Next improvement I have to make is in decorating the men.
Lucas was so pleased that we wanted to bring some for his teachers. I suggested maybe next week when we try the second time. He said no, he wants to bring them tomorrow.

See what Lucas wrote on the container cover.- 'love'

His other teacher. I'm happy that he has his teachers in his mind.

Chloe drew the smiley face with edible marker. Thought this marker is less messy than having icing sugar, but icing sugar is a lot more attractive.
