Decorated Gingerbread Man Cookie
The gingerbread man is one of the most recognizable baked treats during the winter season. Featuring a friendly face and piped sugar icing, this festive cookie represents classic Christmas holiday traditions.
Origins of the Gingerbread Man
Legend credits Queen Elizabeth I of England with creating the first decorated gingerbread men to resemble visiting dignitaries at her royal court. The famous folk tale of the runaway gingerbread cookie became popular in North America during the late nineteenth century.
