When my friend Heather Meeks told me about her Gingerbread Men with Essential Oils I knew I had to get her to share. She is an amazing baker (did you see her Pumpkin Spice Muffins earlier this year?) and I just knew you all would love these. This is what she had to say:

I got RAVE reviews from my gingerbread men! I didn’t tell them my secret ingredient but I’m sharing with you guys! The 3 year olds in my class LOVED them! Even my super picky, won’t eat anything but a hot dog, nephew! I’d say that was success!

This is an awesome recipe for gingerbread men with essential oils.

Heather adapted her gingerbread men recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction to use the Young Living Essential Oils (there is a great sale on them right now-follow the link) we both love so much. Here is Heather’s version:

    These are so, so cute and sound delicious! I am not so crafty, but decent in the kitchen. Should I be intimidated???? Anything to watch out for before we dive in?

      Absolutely not! Just remember to chill, chill, chill…the dough of course!

    These look delicious! Thank you for sharing! I tried her muffin recipe, and it was to-die-for, so I know these will be legit.

    Looks great! Curious about why to use a room temperature egg?

      It is believed that room temperature eggs blend into the other ingredients better when not cold. I’m not going to lie, though. I did not get my egg out to let it warm up and I can not tell that it made any difference in this recipe. I used my stand mixer to mix the dough and it still produced a very soft cookie.

A Bit About Me…


I truly love the wonderful chaos of motherhood, but as my kids grew, I started craving a different kind of pace and a sense of calm I couldn't quite find.

Moving to the coast, which is my happy place, really changed how I live the day to day. Now, I just try to bring more calm into our days, even though they're still pretty busy.

It's not about making life perfect. It's just finding some balance and little bits of peace in the middle of the happy hustle, letting the salt air work its magic on the chaos.

Knock, Knock! Anyone home?

I no longer participate in PR campaigns of any type. I consider this blog to be in retirement but here for anyone who would like to read. I started this journey in 1998 with a company I named “Chaotic Communications”. I am so happy to have lost that chaotic feeling. Today I have rebranded that life and work to simply “Indigo Ink“. You can click that link to find my latest projects.
