The “Gingerbread Man” Recipe

​

Bake the Cookies That Inspired the Song

Josh grew up loving the warm, cozy smell of gingerbread every holiday season. The King Family has baked this particular recipe from Sally's Baking many times over the years. So when it came time to create the Gingerbread Man world, he wanted fans to be able to make their own cookies, too. 

Below is the simple ingredient list Josh actually used when filming his rollout. For full instructions, you’ll jump straight to Sally’s Baking. Make it more fun and tag @officialjoshking #JoshKing and #GingerBreadManJosh in the photos and videos you share on social media along with his new song "Gingerbread Man". Josh can't wait to see what everyone makes!
