We started having a gingerbread man decorating party a few years back. Every year it grows. It is now my kids favorite Christmas tradition. This year we had 2 parties. One for the little kids and one for Holly.
Here is the recipe if you have not made them before. It is a good one. The kids like to decorate them I like to eat them. I use a thick homemade cream cheese frosting for glue. My favorite candy to glue on: red hots.
Grandma Dame's Molasses Cut Out Cookies
