Gingerbread Cookies | Christmas Cookies | Decorating Gingerbread Men

There is zip quite similar gingerbread baking - the wintery spices mixed molasses... mmmm.  This year, I did a handstitched vacation topic for our decorating.  I decided to extend that topic to my vacation baking, resulting in... handstitched Gingerbread Men, Mittens & Candy Canes. 

I decorated all of the cookies amongst scarlet in addition to white regal icing (recipe for Royal Icing here!) - classic Christmas.  I decided to brand all of the cookies a picayune dissimilar - assorted 'knit' scarlet in addition to white sweaters.

Each cookie has 'stitches' inward dissimilar patterns.  I specially similar the snowflake sweater... I wishing I could genuinely knit a existent sweater similar this!

I used a larger circular tip to delineate in addition to fill upwardly inward the mittens & sweater, in addition to thus a small-scale tip for the stitches.

Knitted Mittens are around other chemical cistron of my cozy Christmas theme.  Again, I did diverse patterns on each cookie... no 2 hand-knitted mittens are the same, right?

What shapes of gingerbread cookies volition yous brand this year?
