i heart gingerbread men

They just look so adorable when they are in a cluster, don't they? I made a personalized gingerbread man for each of my coworkers and since our group works on cameras for Google Streetview, I made little cameras to go along with it. They were an instant hit of course :) 
I used this recipe but substituted margarine with butter.  Make sure you watch them while baking because they are soft and chewy with slight crunch normally, but will turn hard and dry very quickly if overbaked. For the frosting, I mixed 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar with 1 tablespoon of nonfat milk and a pinch of cinnamon for more flavor. 

Happy Holidays!
