I adore your awkward humour. It's exactly like mine and I'm so happy other people are like this. ♡

I made these cookies for a party this weekend and they were a hit! I did chill the dough for well over 24hrs. I'm glad I did, it was really soft by the time I got to the last cookie. Perfect touch of ginger, not too hot. I'll definitely be making these again. Thanks for the perfect instructions and humor. I love baking and laughing...two of my favorite things!

[@pixiepqueen]

if you get a little bit of vegetable oil and rub it in your measuring cup before putting the molasses in it or any other syrupy stuff (honey, treacle etc) the syrup will just glide out of the cup and you won't have lots of syrup still left in the cup when you add it to your cooking. Works really well.

[@mayhembeading3737]

That's what I do. I'm surprised, and wondering why, more cooks don't do this in their videos.

[@user-lx9fc4hf6o]

thank you for the tip.....Tracey from Austin Texas

[@exp-io853]

thanksss sm for this

[@aliciaalvarado2784]

I introduced my mom to your channel and she loves watching your videos just as much or even more than I do!! Because of your techniques and instructions for your creations, I bought her for Christmas her first ever Kitchen Aid Mixer along with some of your kitchen gadgets from your kitchen tools video so she can start recreating your ideas. Thank you for being you and having such a great channel. You deserve many more subs!! Merry Christmas!!

[@bethotoole6569]

These are the BEST gingerbread cookies ever!! Not too spicy but still flavorful,, soft, chewy. A-MAZE-ING!! The perfect cookie with a cup of coffee. No icing , no extras, just a great cookie! No one in my family likes really sweet stuff so these fit for us perfectly. These are my new favorite Christmas cookie. Thanks John!!

[@aliciajarzab]

I love how approachable everything you do is and just how much your personality shines through even more in each video! Thank you for giving us substitutions for lots of things, I seriously learn so many new tips from you and I'm a heavy consumer of all things baking so that says a lot.

[@user-lx9fc4hf6o]

I am making these for my Grandsons.....Love Gingerbread Man Tracey from Austin Texas ❤❤

[@Montevideo2313]

"Big boulders of ginger...Teach your kid a lesson"... I almost spat tea all over my phone while watching this video. Give a girl a warning before cracking a joke. 😆

[@verginiabudiyanto4939]

nice🔦🔦🖤

[@k221090]

Right?! I paused the video to hear it again...this guy is funny!

[@jonathanfraga2562]

Thank you so much for giving me inspiration to get in the kitchen! You're one of my youtube favorites now!

[@cindyrobertson3798]

Cool, I love the candy hold switch. ♥️ I love royal icing for ginger bread men ,houses 🏘 and best..a gingerbread church with candy windows .pourd sugar suckered in stained glass. Beautiful!

[@tammiecarbohn6796]

I recently found you channel and now I can’t get enough! You should definitely do a cookbook, I would buy it!

[@caseyslove]

I use pasteurized egg white or meringue powder to make Royal icing. This avoids the risk of Salmonella contamination from the raw egg whites. Thanks for the great video. I really enjoy all your postings.

[@angiecade6291]

I love how informative your videos are. And you make the prettiest cakes and cookies!

[@heatherramirez4650]

My 11 year old just made this cookie dough for a school “food truck” day. He picked a “Christmas food truck” as his. He will be taking them to school on Friday. We will be topping a cheesecake/red velvet cake with these! Also making gingerbread houses, and snowflakes as well. I’ll come back and tell you how it goes. I did taste the batter and it was delicious. Letting it chill over night and baking tomorrow evening💕 thanks for the recipe.

[@sharonw.2589]

I tried this recipe yesterday and the cookies were a huge hit! They're easy to made and absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe 😊🎄!

[@jeanfitzsimmons2258]

LOVE THE TIPS ON TELLING THE AGE EGGS BY THE WHITES AND ON THE BENDING THE GINGERBREAD MAN'S ARMS...

[@aiswarya83]

He’s always so happy ! Watching his baking shows makes me smile !

[@Daniel.rmendez]

Hi John just wanted to say thank you for this recipe!! they came out amazing for Christmas and EVERYONE LOVED THEM! they were such a hit. i was soo happy. :P

[@sraddha1411]

Can watch this man with a smile for hours 💞

[@kimberland8910]

OMG~ you used royal icing to decorate the gingerbread, they are too cute, thanks for the post, I literally just seen it. I have been disconnected for the Christmas Holidays, quality time with the family. I use pasturized egg whites in my royal icing. Again thanks for the video. Happy New year's to you and your family!!

[@robinrodriguezlopez]

My family and I are not big gingerbread fans but we loved this recipe. I did cut the ginger in half. I also had to constantly put my dough in the fridge because of all the stickyness

[@aishwaryagarg7320]

I love how realistic you are in all your videos, like you don’t sugarcoat things, you tell them as it is! And also your awkward sense of humour gets me every time! 😂😂 Gonna try these cookies soon!

[@lupitafonseca]

I would like to know who are these 55 bitter people whom disliked this video😣.... I guess i rather not, i don't need this kind of negativity🙈. You're recipes in all your videos are amazing, and it's just soothing to watch and listen to you while explaining. I've learn very much, Thank you Mister K.😄🙏

[@ireneherrera-shan7272]

Great tutorial for gingerbread people. The came out so adorable. Thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas.

[@wowpancakes9780]

Thank you for giving me the motivation to get back in the kitchen, baking! Im so glad i found your page! Very inspirational.

[@TheGenflute]

😂 Haha! I love you looking directly at that cookie and saying "you had one job!" Hahaha! 🙌🦄😂 Merry Christmas!

[@blmacneil3238]

I love how easy you make everthing seem. I guess I have been watching you for several months now and loved every minute of it. Just wish I had a chance to actually make it all. Whenever my friends ask me, "Do you know how to make this or that" I turn to your site. Love everything you do change anything. Your great

[@jeannecooke4862]

Nothing mediocre about you, Sir,..or your recipes...beautiful, all that you do! Thank you for sharing your recipe and good tidings to you for the Holidays!

[@DonnaDeCourcy]

Very good recipe, with good flavour. I also added some ground cardamom. Dough is sticky, so cooling as described is necessary. Thank you. Your recipes are always successful.

[@chetandhillon7053]

you are a expert at making gingerbread man cookies. I love it.

[@monicaglenn7878]

John, You are way to cute and awesome!! "We all make sacrifices" 😂😂 You did a really good job on your gingerbread people, be proud of your work. Keep practicing, before you know it, you'll be a profess on cookie decorating? Who knows maybe this year, your deco skills will have flourished? Wishing you and your family, a very Merry blessed Christmas!!

[@kennethmaese4622]

"You lazy cookie....you had ONE job!" hahahahahahahaha

[@anber4129]

[@mckenna8663]

Lazy cookies are sacrificed

[@pek1199]

You need your own tv show. You're such a delight to watch.

[@AllThingsRelevent]

I love, love,love watching this guy bake lol someone give him his own TV show

[@ingridyeseniafernandezlanz7837]

Omg, just take them out of the oven 😋 They're delicious. I like them more crispy, so I did what was recommended on the page, cut the molasses in half, also the yeast and added 1/4 of cornstarch. So good Thank you for sharing so many amazing recipes.

[@michellemaria71]

I love watching your channel ❤️ and don’t skip - we want to see you decorate the cookies 😊 I could watch you all day!

[@wwefanforlife23]

I just made some gingerbread cookies. Love this recipe.

[@stha03]

They taste great with white chocolate icing too🥰

[@ellenspear50]

These are beautiful. So nostalgic. I will have to make some this holiday season (despite it being summer where I am).

[@lindakemer4950]

Since you are now in the NE, you need to visit Williamsburg, Va. and visit the bakery there. The gingerbread is amazing fresh out of their brick oven. Mouth watering delight for sure. I’m looking forward to trying your recipe.😋

[@kristeenxavierjamir4652]

I just hate the way I love your channel...❤️ Makes my day..!!

[@ellenwood719]

Such fun! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thank you for bringing me such pleasure. 🎅🤶

[@alemont2818]

I just made your blackberry cake and it looks and tastes amazing, thanks, you are an amazing baker and one of my favorite youtubers

[@MaryAris]

When I make royal icing, I normally use dried egg whites. You can get that in any grocery or supermarket. I add 2 TBS water and beat it; then add 4 more TBS water. I then continue to beat the dried egg mixture until frothy, then add 1 to 2 cups of confectioner's sugar, a Tablespoon at a time, then beat until stiff peaks form. You can add 1teaspoon of vanilla extract before adding the sugar. This Royal icing can be thinned with a few drops of water to get it to the right consistency.

[@bettysbakegoods9582]

I'm so glad you made this video,👍👍 You are a sterical love your personality. Merry 🎄Christmas to you & ur family

[@jeannecooke4862]

Awesome...so beautifully done...inspiring...looking forward to making them!

[@bettyrubble9420]

Watching some of your Christmas videos, you're always funny and such a joy to watch. Especially the bloopers, never change. Merry Christmas🎄❣🇨🇦

[@isa6bella]

I love that you just fling shit around hahaha 😂😂

[@FuriedHearts]

isa6bella - It annoys the shit out of me lol

[@isa6bella]

Stephen Bailey LOL 😂

[@EsthiexLy]

Same lmao 🤣🤣

[@2011Lean]

Merry Christmas Mr gingerbread man. Luv the video...your so funny. Made the chocolate cake...so good. It actually gets better with age, flavor so rich. Thanks a bunch.

[@mariazamarripa4413]

I totally enjoyed your video! I loved your recipe! thanks for sharing and I'm going to save this recipe!! Thanks!! Your friend from Saginaw, Texas

[@JeremyAntonL]

Thank you , You have given me courage to actually try this after years and years of “This year...nope”

[@bethaniestar1]

Thanks for recipe! Just a note that 350°F is 177°C (not 117°C) for viewers who use metrics

[@calumacalpine2951]

Yeayyyyy!!!! Just tried it, yummmmmm!! Molases makes the difference 🙌

[@kegerize728]

Oh my goodness those are so adorable, thank you for inspiring me to get back to baking. :)

[@gigglepantsiii826]

Oh my goodness this explains why mine didn't look right. The cookbook I was using said to put the shortening brown sugar and molasses before mixing instead of creaming the sugar and shortening then adding molasses

[@mysticarts8787]

That lazy cookie made my day 😁😁love you John you are my fav youtuber. Such talented baker

[@christinab9835]

Love your videos. I always watch your videos when I want to make something new. Thank you so much ☺

[@tamhammm]

thank you! now i can bake these for my best friend's bday! i'm sure he will love the cookies. love your videos

[@mahdireza5695]

My secret to the best gingerbread is white vinegar, micro-grated walnuts, freshly micro-grated ginger. Trust me! Adding these creates/alters a perfect texture and aromatic heartwarming flavour...

[@dallasmandy]

Woo! And i made your sugar cookies today. They're wonderful! And so adaptable. Thank you

[@janelbuckley8332]

You crack me up! They made an entremet on the Great British Baking Show holiday show which I believe is layers of mousse with cake. Could you make one of those for a future episode?

[@jennypetrakis8934]

I do wonder when you push your bowls to one side do they ever end on the ground, love those little gingerbread ,enjoy your humour . Have a merry Christmas and happy new year enjoy your holiday season with your family. Look forward to more wonderful tutorials.🎁🎁🎉🎉🎉

[@cakeboiplayz_rblx4042]

[@jessie-tg7lc]

[@cindydriver9112]

They're adorable!

[@CJ-im2uu]

I stated this on your FB link: turn the gingerbread man upside down, add a red nose (on what would be the forehead if right side up), add eyes. Viola, reindeer.

[@lorieivanoff6778]

They look very good. Your food always makes me hungery. Do you have a recipe on how to make gingerbread house. I seen so many recipes, but nobody has the measurements on the shapes. I been following you for years, & was hoping you can help me please. Thanks in advance

[@snake991231]

Cool video & I love your humor!

[@prettypaldhillon2367]

I love you, and your recipes, and your jokes :))

[@camisewalls719]

Love love looks yummy!!! 🤩🤩

[@ivlynvaldes7574]

Hehehe that was fun to bake preppy.thank u for this recipe I'm going to do it. God bless u.

[@almagarcia318]

Thank you, you make it look so simple, can I use the same dough for a ginger bread house?

[@marianaespinosa7067]

wow, looks amazing. love from México

[@1p618-p3u]

Hi. My dough was incredibly sticky. I checked all my measurements and live in a dry environment. Plenty of flour on cold counter and pin. Discs chilled all night. Was only able to get two or three cookies cut out before the dough started adhering like crazy, then back into the fridge for re-chill. Any suggestions? Maybe an extra half cup of flour next time? Less molasses? (also going to try the less leavener, sharper version w/corn starch next) Thanks 😊

[@tatiteresa7281]

your dad jokes are amazing and i love your videos:))))))

[@ogeoge7187]

I love your videos and they are my favourite to watch right now, what can I use to substitute for molasses?

[@kirabradley9129]

I just made your sugar cookies and they turned out perfect! Now I just gotta make these

[@littleblizzard7591]

Aaaahhhhh..... leavening makes the cookie softer! Duh! Thank you for help!

[@michellew.6597]

Love the Indiana Jones reference.my daughter and I are making these.

[@yunamchill9169]

Hey, John. Just stumbled across this video, because I want to make gingerbread cookies for Christmas, but I'd like them crisper and sharp. Could you please explain to me at what point to add the cornstarch and how much to reduce the leavening agents? I'd would help greatly. Thanks in advance, Yuna

[@angelicagrayson9491]

Very nice ginger bread cookies

[@ellenspear50]

Molasses is problematic here in New Zealand. I can only find blackstrap here, and no recipe I've found calls for blackstrap. I decided to use treacle instead this holiday season.

[@aliciapermann1567]

Made these and they are really good.

[@rachellekinney1119]

Your recipe is amazing 😍👌😊👌 Thanks for sharing 👏😊😊

[@sisisishop5640]

[@jazmineeiris]

chilled over night but the dough was still to soft to spread out... popped it in the freezer but wondering if i may have done something wrong?

[@gloria-jeanortega2957]
