New Year's gingerbread men

Unusual and very tasty cookies, prepared in the oven. Gingerbread men are aromatic pastries that you can prepare with your children. Margarine can be easily replaced with butter. If desired, you can add ready-made gingerbread mixture to the dough. Or choose the spices yourself, but ginger must be present. Gingerbread dough should be chilled for at least 1 hour. Sugar icing is prepared to decorate the cookies. Gingerbread men can be served at the holiday table with tea, lemonade or compote.
