gingerbread cookies. Making gingerbread men cookies is a must-do holiday tradition and brings joy to people of all ages! These tasty gingerbread figures are even better with a layer of Nutella® hazelnut spread. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Cut out cookies with desired cutter-- the ginger bread man is our favorite of course. Remove cookie sheet from oven and allow the cookies to stand until the cookies are firm enough to move to a wire rack.

Clearly they aren't gingerbread man cookies, but is there a hard fast rule on ginger cookie names? To me a gingersnap should have, well, some snap. The point of a traditional gingerbread recipe is that the actual cookie isn't meant to be especially sweet. That's why it's called gingerbread, not gingercookie. The sweetness of the icing will give you that sugary kick.
