New Year Gingerbread men

Unusual and very tasty cookies, cooked in the oven. Gingerbread men are fragrant pastries that can be cooked together with children. Margarine is easily replaced with butter. If desired, you can add a ready-made mixture for gingerbread to the dough. Or pick up the spices yourself, but ginger must be present. Gingerbread dough should be cooled for at least 1 hour. Icing sugar is prepared to decorate the cookies. Gingerbread men can be served to the festive table with tea, lemonade or compote.
