Yes! okieinalaska's recipe for
Soft Gingerbread
1 (3.5 ounce) package cook and serve butterscotch pudding mix
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a medium bowl, cream together the dry butterscotch pudding mix, butter, and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon; stir into the pudding mixture. Cover, and chill dough until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets. On a floured board, roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness, and cut into man shapes using a cookie cutter. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are golden at the edges. Cool on wire racks. -

How on earth did you find all of these? I must be doing something wrong when I do a search!!! Thank you so much!

I like Autumn Carpenter's recipe. It does not raise at all. The shape I put in the oven comes out the same exact size. This is the recipe: http://www.cookiedecorating.com/webpages/CookieIdea.aspx?idea=22 It is in her website: www.cookiedecorating.com. Fun website.
