In a bowl, mix ALL the ingredients together. Use an electric mixer and mix for 1-2 minutes on low-medium. It will be clumpy at first, but the longer you mix it, it will form into a dough.

Once it's formed into a dough, put a cover over the bowl and stick it in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F as you near the 3 hour mark.

Once it's been in the fridge for at least 3 hours, you can take it out. **You have to work pretty quickly because the warmer the dough gets, the harder it gets to work with.**

Lay a piece of parchment paper on the counter. Put the dough on top of the paper.

Lay another parchment paper over the dough and start rolling it out with a rolling pin until it's flat.

Lift the top parchment paper layer and take your cookie cutter and start cutting out pieces.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with another sheet parchment paper. Do as many gingerbread men as you can in one rolled out dough.

Take the remaining dough and ball it up and put it back in the bowl. Put the remaining dough back in the fridge while a batch cooks. This will reduce the amount of time the dough is out in room temperature.

Bake a full sheet of cookies for 8-10 minutes.

Repeat the process as each batch finishes until you run out of dough. When cookies come out of the oven, cool on cooling rack.
