Fun Fact: Did you know Seth Green voiced one of the film’s gingerbread men?!
Michael Dougherty has a knack for creating horror villains that almost instantly become iconic, and like Trick ‘r Treat before it, he did just that with 2015’s Krampus. The film not only put us up close and personal with Dougherty’s own take on the titular Christmas beast, but also introduced us to Krampus’ legion of evil-doing helpers: elves, a nightmarish jack-in-the-box and, cutest of all, an army of killer gingerbread men.
If you’re making gingerbread cookies this holiday season, and you probably are (I know I am), why not make gingerbread cookies based on the gingerbread men from Krampus?!
As always, The Homicidal Homemaker has got us covered. In her latest tutorial video, Kaci goes through the step-by-step creation of Krampus gingerbread cookies!
“You can absolutely use store-bought dough to make these, but I’m sharing my coveted recipe for my favorite gingerbread dough,” she says. “The cookies are crisp on the edges, while remaining slightly soft and chewy on the inside. To make these look similar to the cookies in the film, I made my own DIY cookie cutter out of heavy-duty foil, but standard cookie cutters will work just fine.”
