Marshmallow Orange Frosting Stuffed Gingerbread Men

Whew! That is a mouthful.


But it is an oh-so-delicious get-in-my-belly-now mouthful.


I have always had a love-hate relationship with gingerbread cookies. 


However, I have always LOVED marshmallow frosting (who doesn't?)!!


Then I had an "Oh yeah duh I should do this!" moment. 


Gingerbread cookies + marshmallow frosting = an official love relationship with gingerbread!

Marshmallow Orange Frosting Stuffed Gingerbread Men
1 recipe for gingerbread cookies (I used this one)

Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out whatever shapes you would like (just make sure you have two of each!). Bake for 12-14 minutes, then let cool on a baking rack.


For the frosting:

1 stick of butter
1 c. powder sugar
2 c. marshmallow fluff
the zest of two oranges

Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Fold in the fluff and zest. Frost one side of each pair of cookies, then place the other on top. Store in the refrigerator.
