These Gingerbread Man Cookies (or People or Santas or however you cut them out!) are perfect for decorating or hanging on the tree – the taste deepens and mellows over time, so they are best a few days after baking. That makes them perfect for cookie parties or give-away cookie plates, since you can make them a few days ahead of time and the gingerbread man cookies just get better.

If you like, use whole wheat pastry flour in this recipe – you can even substitute up to a cup with rye flour for extra body and flavor.
