Gingerbread Men

One of my favourite Christmas bakes that I look forward to has to be baking Gingerbread Men.

These gingerbread men are so cute and fun to make.  They are the traditional gingerbread cookies that are loved by all at Christmas time.

Last Christmas I baked gingerbread men holding mini candy canes and everyone loved them and so this year I had to bake them again and share them with you all.

This is a great recipe and you can decorate the gingerbread men anyway you like, using royal icing and adding some food colouring.

But, if you only make the gingerbread men with the mini candy canes, you don't need to make a full batch of icing as you only need a very small amount for the eyes, mouth and to stick the candy canes onto the gingerbread man's body.

Happy Baking xo

· 125 grams butter

7. Allow cookies to cool completely before decorating.

Royal Icing/ Decorating

8. Place icing sugar, egg white and 1 tablespoon of water into a bowl and using an electric beater beat on high for 3 minutes until mixture is smooth. Add more water if the mixture is too thick.

9. Place royal icing into a piping bag and pipe a smiley face on each gingerbread man. At the back of each mini candy cane pipe a small amount of icing and attach it to the gingerbread man.

Tips

· Remember to allow cookies to cool completely before icing.

· If the icing appears too thick add more water and if the icing appears too runny add more icing sugar.
