Coffee Infused Gingerbread Man Recipe: A Delightful Twist on a Classic Treat

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition.

5. Slowly pour in the cooled coffee, and continue mixing until the dough comes together.

6. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

8. Remove one disc of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

9. Using gingerbread man cookie cutters, cut out your dough shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

11. Allow the gingerbread men to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining dough.

13. Once cooled, you can decorate your coffee infused gingerbread men with icing or sprinkles if desired.
