Aprons, flour flying and sprinkles everywhere. It doesn’t change much over the years, cookie baking still makes a mess and still brings so much joy to my heart. To be honest, most years, I use pre-made dough (don’t tell my Husband’s family). I don’t come from a family of cooks and it saves time and the mess. However, some of my favorite Christmas memories are going to my best friend’s cookie decorating party where we would make ourselves sick with sugar and decorate enough cookies for an army.
To this day, a good sugar cookie with some frosting and sprinkles is still my favorite holiday treat.
What better way to add some sweetness to your relationship than by baking cookies together this holiday season and making it a date night. Whether it’s this recipe or your grandma’s it doesn’t matter, find a recipe you’ll both like and dive into date night with the sweetest intentions.
With all that being said, these aren’t just any old gingerbread men, We like to be fancy. So I found an amazing recipe that keeps the dough’s structure even after it’s been baked and we’re adding a rosemary frosting and a Bourbon caramel sauce to mix things up and dress our men with (the gingerbread men that is).
