In the Mix Gingerbread Cookie Kit, Ninja, 9.5 Ounce

I made these with my 3 1/2 year old grandson today and we had a blast! It was a lot of work, but the results were outstanding. If you follow the directions, they will come out just great. They actually looked like the ninjabread men on the box. And they taste great. I was surprised they required honey and powdered sugar, but understand after tasting.

You make these cookies from scratch and they provide some ingredients but not all. Remember, this a four year old and I let him mix and pour all the ingredients and decorate to his delight. It was his first time to make cookies and he loved them because they were Ninja gingerbread men!!

Fun cookie & loved the idea! The actual mix wasn't the best, but still good.

I ordered 2 kits one was just as promised. The other kit did not include the cookie cutters. We had some very disappointed little boys.

UPDATE MARCH 23, 2023 I didn't pay attention to the product when I left the original review. We never got a chance to make them at Christmas so today as I was going through my baking stuff I came across the box. As I started looking I noticed that this box said BEST IF USED BY JULY 2022. I attached when I ordered this item which was in OCT 2022 which means they knew they sent out some disgusting, expired product. Now yes I know you can use items after that date, but that certainly isn't the point. Since we forgot about it that item should still have been good and not even expired until this year or next. Since I don't know how long their items are good for this item could have been sitting on a shelf for 5yrs for all I know. I'm so mad I didn't even notice this date when I bought it to get a refund. I guess I would assume a business would send FRESH items and not past expiration. I don't know why I thought this was a kit when I bought it, but I see it's a mix I have to make to get the shapes to decorate. I will say there is barely anything in the box. I am not sure how many cookies this dough will make but there is not a lot of frosting or decorations either. The only part worth the money is the cookie cutters. There are 4 but again you could probably find them individually for sale. If you have a favorite dough you use you can just use that to make the ninjas with. If you're giving this as a gift to a child the only way it would be a great gift is if someone actually makes them the cookies for them to decorate. I can't speak on taste as we haven't made it yet or on how many you get out of their box mix. It says 10-12 on the box.. I will attach pics to show what all you get. In the end if you're a baker like myself buying just the cutters from another site and like I said making your own dough might be the best way to go. If you're not a great baker, just tired, want something to do with a child or grandchild, this wasn't that expensive when I bought it and did arrive quickly. I guess the good side of it not being cookies you just decorate is you don't have to worry your cookies get broken in transport. I had my son open it to make sure nothing was damaged and that's when I realized it was a mix. I do see there are other items listed on the back of the box you need such as butter, honey, powdered sugar to make this mix and icing. It does say it contains wheat on the cookie mix, and egg on the small frosting mix that should be in the one pic I posted so if a family member has an allergy to either of those this might not be the product for you.

cute idea. the cutters are very cute and can be used over and over obviously for sandwhiches and cookies. the gingerbread mix isn't the best, it requires more ingredients that maybe not everyone has in their kitchen (I had to go buy honey) I only got 8 cookies out of the mix also. I think it is a little pricey and I saw a corresponding Ugly Sweater Kit (the same kit, but different cutters) at Wal-Mart for $8.

I gave this as a gift. They laughed their heads off and had a ball making delish gingerbread ninja men!

These cookie cutters are excellent! I've used them many times since purchasing this kit. I was a little concerned that they wouldn't produce well-cut figures, but that wasn't the case at all. My gingerbread men came out looking just like the ones on the box. I even saved the front of the box for decorating ideas. I used the cookie mix only because I can't stand letting food go to waste. It was fine- sort of what you'd expect from a mix. After that I used my normal gingerbread recipe for these. The frosting mix was fine as well, but I didn't try the small candies; I'm not sure I would really consider those food.

Absolutely loved making these! So easy to do and lots of fun.

Expensive for what it is.
