// Gingerbread Man
// A gingerbread man is a classic holiday cookie shaped like a stylized human figure. Typically made from gingerbread dough - a sweet, spiced mixture containing ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, molasses, and brown sugar - these charming cookies are flat with a distinctive form featuring a round head, torso, arms, and legs. The traditional gingerbread man is decorated with icing to create facial features (eyes, mouth, sometimes a nose) and details like buttons down the front, cuffs at the wrists and ankles, and sometimes a bow tie. Candies like raisins, chocolate chips, or colorful gumdrops might be used for embellishments.
