Delicious gingerbread! After rolling out, the dough sticks, so as not to spoil the figures, you need to carefully pry them off with a knife. If you apply the glaze only along the contour, there will be a lot left unused, so it is better to apply it completely to the cookies. From this amount of ingredients, I got 39 pieces (the length of the cookies - 7 cm).
