Original Mirro Gingersnap Spritz Cookie Recipe & Cute New Gingerbread Man Disc

I was tickled when the good folks at Impress Bakeware sent me an adorable gingerbread man disc to play with-love it! I knew right away that this old Mirro Ginger Snap Recipe with lots of warm spices and molasses would be the perfect recipe for his first batch of cookies. Add in a few seasonal candy sprinkles or colored sugar and I'd call this a fun day of baking:@)

So, run, run as fast as you can... 

Into the kitchen and whip up a batch of cute Christmas cookies!

 Notes:

• This dough likes to puff up a bit, try to get a feel for pressing out ~just enough~ dough to stick to the baking sheets while keeping your cookies skinny. You'll have more definition (and less pudgy boys:@) that way.
• Don't know if this speaks to my lack of patience but, I think the simple colored sugar looks best as a decoration.
• I did chill the second sheet for 15 minutes before baking, it didn't make any difference in the shape of the cookie. So no chilling necessary.
• This is a cookie for crunchy cookie lovers! Ma calls these "dunkers"... Great with coffee or tea.

They have a complete set of gingerbread discs, so neat for Christmas baking!

PS-They do offer individual discs from most of their sets, 
so you can pick and choose a few of your favorites if you don't need a whole set.

Happy holiday baking everyone:@)
