10" GINGERBREAD MEN 2012....CUT FROM OUR OWN TRACER!

TO MAKE YOUR OWN TRACER, FIND A GRAPHIC YOU LIKE ON THE COMPUTER AND PRINT AS LARGE AS YOU LIKE.  I USED A 10 INCH TALL GINGERBREAD MAN.  ONCE PRINTED, TRACE IT ONTO OAKTAG OR STURDY PAPER AND CUT OUT. VOILA! YOUR OWN TEMPLATE.  

MAKE YOUR COOKIE DOUGH. CLICK HERE FOR MY SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE OR USE A GINGERBREAD RECIPE.  ROLL THE DOUGH OUT ON A WELL FLOURED SURFACE AND LAY THE TEMPLATE ON TOP. USE A SHARP KNIFE TO CUT AROUND THE TEMPLATE.  TRANSFER TO THE COOKIE SHEET WITH A LARGE SPATULA.  OR......ROLL/CUT DIRECTLY ON PARCHMENT THAT IS ALREADY SITTING ON YOUR PAN. LESS MOVEMENT THAT WAY!

DECORATE ONCE COOL!
