Not sure why to use non-pareils under the cookies before baking unless it works like cornmeal under a pizza. I skipped that and used parchment paper instead. Yields about 27 four-inch men.

It says to place on non-pareils ungreased cookie sheet?

Nonpareils are a decorative confection of tiny balls made with sugar and starch, traditionally an opaque white but now available in many colors. Their origin is uncertain, but they may have evolved out of the pharmaceutical use of sugar, as they were a miniature version of comfits.[1] The French name has been interpreted to mean they were "without equal" for intricate decoration of cakes, desserts, and other sweets, and the elaborate pièces montées constructed as table ornaments.[2]

These little gingerbread men turned out fantastic! I made one batch from scratch and then these ones, and these ones were a hit hands down. (not to mention much, much easier!)
