Oaty Gingerbread Men

I found this recipe from the kitchen cafe blog here. I added the oat flour to make them extra chewey. It added a unique flavor to this Christmas classic!

In a mixer dump and mix:

3 cups flour (1/4 cup of this is oat flour)
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 T cinnamon
1 T ginger
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp salt

Now add and mix on high until crumbly:

12 T butter cold and cut into 12 pieces.

Now add and mix on high until just mixed:

3/4 cup molasses
2 T milk

Divide into 3 parts. Place each section of dough onto a piece of waxed paper. Place another piece of wax paper on top of the ball of dough. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough to 1/4 inch. Place the waxed covered dough in the freezer for 10 minutes. Remove cold dough and cut out the men. Place on cookie sheet lined with fresh wax paper. Bake at 375 for 9 minutes. Allow to cool on cookie sheets.
