A cheerful gingerbread man cookie stands with his arms wide open, showing off icing squiggles, gumdrop buttons and a candy smile. The one big shape makes this a great first holiday page. Color the cookie light brown, then add bright colors to the buttons like candy decorations.
Gingerbread has been baked in Europe for hundreds of years, and Queen Elizabeth I of England is said to have had gingerbread figures made to look like her guests.
