Ingredients

  • 1 package Duncan Hines® Moist Deluxe® Spice Cake Mix

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 eggs

  • cup vegetable oil

  • cup dark molasses

  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger

  • non-pareils

  • 1 tub Duncan Hines® Creamy Home-Style Vanilla Icing

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Combine cake mix, flour, eggs, oil, molasses, and ginger in a large bowl (mixture will be soft). Refrigerate 2 hours.

  3. Place dough on a lightly floured surface; cover with waxed paper. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a gingerbread man cookie cutter. Place 3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate with nonpareil sprinkles.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges start to brown. Remove immediately to a cooling rack.

  5. Place icing in zip-top freezer bag. Snip the tip off one corner to make a small hole. Pipe a face and ruffles onto each cookie.
