CREAM CHEESE FROSTED GINGERBREAD MEN
Every Christmas, my family would visit a display of the most amazing gingerbread houses. Of course, we'd get to munch on gingerbread cookies along the way! I created my recipe with fresh grated ginger and cream cheese icing-it's the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. -Rebekah Jackson, San Jose, California
