Gingerdead Men Hail Santa!

Only six months until Santa or Krampus comes!  I made these last Christmas and they are so cool looking! 




These were very fun to make.  Aside from frosting, I used candy eyes, candy beads and edible markers.
 Things you'll need:
GINGERDEAD DOUGH
ROYAL ICING -great techniques with this recipe
GINGERDEAD MAN COOKIE CUTTER
And anything else you want to decorate with.  I got all my candies in the cake decorating section of a craft store.  You can also use Wilton pre made cookie icing.

I found the easiest way to get the frosting into the bone grooves of the cookie was to pipe it in small amounts, then spread it gently with a toothpick.  If you use the premade icing, it works best slightly warmed.  I prefer the premade, it's so much easier for me to use, especially when making large batches of cookies.
