- Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for half an hour.
- Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper/baking parchment.
- Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5/ 190C. Flour your surface then roll out your dough so it's 1cm thick and cut out your men with a gingerbread men shaped cutter or whatever shape you want to use.
- You can get neat stamps you press on instead of decorating with icing like those pictured here.
- I have also used an upsides down snowman cutter for a skull.
- Place on baking tray and bake for 10 - 12 minutes - they should be firm but not browned.
- Rest on tray a further 10 minutes then remove and set on a wire rack to continue cooling.
- Decorate with piped icing. Let your imagination guide you. You could stick sweets to the icing for eyes or buttons.
- For Halloween make some headless, armless or legless by cutting off a leg or whatever and decorate with red icing near the 'injury', scary faces and pipe a skeleton out of icing onto the bodies. My son loves this! We call them 'Injure-bread Men' lol.
- To make Xmas Stained Glass Cookies, follow the recipe but cut circles out of your main cookie shapes.
- Bash some boiled sweets or lollipops with a rolling pin to break them into smaller pieces and spoon into the holes in your cookies.
