For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to the dough. If the dough is too sticky to roll out, chill it for an additional 30 minutes. Store decorated gingerbread men in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Get creative with your decorations! Use royal icing, colored sugars, chocolate chips, or even edible glitter to personalize your gingerbread men. These cookies freeze well! Bake and cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before decorating.
