Sarah Michelle Gellar Shares Her Family Recipe for Gingerbread Cookies

Sarah Michelle Gellar is ready for the holidays. Crafting gingerbread cookies is a fun activity for the Foodstirs cofounder and her children, Charlotte, 8 and Rocky, 5, whom she shares with husband Freddie Prize Jr.

Instead of making gingerbread men, they “make an entire family, then male them into a sandwich with frosting in between,” the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum, 40, exclusively tells Us Weekly. See her recipe below!

Ingredients:
11 tbsp butter, room temperature
1 egg
Foodstirs Organic Very Merry Gingerbread Cookie Mix
3 tbsp cold water, more if needed

Directions:
1. Using a stand mixer on low speed, blend butter until creamy. Add egg and Organic Very Merry Gingerbread Cookie Mix, then add 1tbsp of ater at a time until moist dough forms and pulls away from side of bowl.
2. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes or until dough is firm.
3. Preheat over to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper if desired. Roll dough ¼-inch thick on a very well-floured board and cut with a 3 ½-inch-tall gingerbread cookie cutter. Place cutouts 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
4. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden at edges and just firm to the touch. Cool on pan for a few minutes before removing to wire rack. Makes 25 cookies.
