… Gingerbread men, that is.

I made double the quantity and rolled the dough out thinner so I ended up with nearly 50 men. I’ve popped them in the freezer in little bags of 6 until they are needed – the icing I use dries pretty quickly so all I need to do is remember to take them out the night before!

I set out only to make some more gingerbreadmen, but once I got going I figured I should bake up a large batch to cover all those extraneous gifts one always ends up needing. So, I made some almond and lemon biscotti…

…some coconut puffs…

…and some proper ginger bread.

Now I’m going to put my feet up in front of whatever ridiculous children’s movie is on tv and relax!
