  Very easy. If you use really small gingerbread men cutters they need less time in the oven so they need watching carefully.

  Yummy! I made stars instead of gingerbread men and found they only needed 8 mins at 170C and they turned out lovely.

  My great-granddaughter Grace is three years old and loved making these gingerbread men. We used raisins and tiny half-moon shaped jellies for eyes and mouth - they seemed to come to life!Tasted good too - we used different sized cutters to make families. A brilliant activity for a rainy day!

  This is a fantastic recipe, the stem ginger is a delicious addition. I used it with pumpkin cutters for a yummy halloween treat. :o)

  Made these a few nights ago, delicious!!! I have coeliacs disease so had to use gluten/wheat free flour which made them VERY hard, if anyone has any tips to make these more chewy I would love to hear them!

  Yummy even without the stem ginger (snow prevented me from getting to the shops!), i rolled them slightly thinner and cooked them for approx 5 mins. Delish!

  I just made a batch of these in less than 30 mins from start to finish (don't know where the 1 hour time guide coes from!!). I love the simplicity, and the fact that they don't contain any eggs. Super!

  Worked best for me rolled really thin (a bit tricky) and as above reduced cooking time and watched carefully. New to cooking (thanks for the tips) ... first batch used dark molasses sugar as had no Muscovado and worked quite well. Makes plenty - yummy.
