Cheat’s gingerbread men

American 15 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook

Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
To make the gingerbread spice, combine all the spices and add the sugar.
Roll out the short crust pastry and sprinkle the gingerbread spice mixture on top. Using a rolling pin, lightly press the spice into the pastry. Using a gingerbread man cookie cutter, cut out the gingerbread men. Place them on the baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
To make the icing, combine the icing sugar and milk until you have a thick consistency. Add this to a piping or zip-top bag and snip off the end with scissors.
Allow the gingerbread men to cool on a rack before decorating and adding sprinkles as buttons.
