Method
Preparation
- Thaw the pie crust on the counter for about 10 minutes.
- Line two large baking trays with parchment and cut out 8 gingerbread people using a large cutter.
- Lay out half of the cutouts on parchment lined trays and brush the edges with egg wash.
- Pipe the center of the cutouts with jam, forming a stick figure design without overfilling.
- Press down the edges to seal using either a fork or fingers.
- Poke holes in the pies using a coffee stirrer before baking (optional).
Baking
- Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool completely before decorating.
Decorating
- Insert licorice laces into the holes for hair, tying them gently.
- Cut 12 round pieces of fondant and create impressions in each for a button look.
- Attach the fondant buttons to the pies using corn syrup.
- Use a food pen or liquid food coloring to make an X on the button and stitches on the doll's body.
- Paint a heart on the left side of the doll’s chest with corn syrup, then cover with red sanding sugar.
- Craft the stick pins from red heart cocktail sticks, ensuring to keep the pointy end for stabbing.

Notes
Let your dollies cool completely before decorating them to prevent melting of fondant. Take extra time to seal edges well to keep fillings from leaking during baking.
