This icing also dries hard and shiny, so it is perfect for gingerbread men. Try it, you won't be disappointed! Make sure that you use FRESH lemon juice, not the bottled kind.

GINGERBREAD COOKIES WITH LEMON GLAZE
I found this in our paper and it looks really good! The biggest thing I liked about it was NOT having to roll out the dough! I have no idea how long these take to make as I haven't tried them yet, however, please NOTE that this cookie dough must sit for at least 2 hours in the fridge!!! NOTE: December 17,2012...I made these this weekend and they are YUMMY! The cookies spread so do keep to the inches between cookies. I would have liked a bit more zip so I will increase the spices a bit and post again. The Glaze was pretty thick so I thinned it with more lemon juice (we love lemons!) I also added a bit of the zest to the glaze...I left it sit overnight...worked out well.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugar, syrup, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon. Off the heat, add the milk, eggs, and baking soda in its water.
- Measure the flour out into a bowl and pour in the liquid ingredients, beating until very well mixed (it will be a very liquid batter). Pour it into the pan and bake for 3/4 - 1 hour until risen and firm. Be careful not to overcook it, as it is nicer a little stickier, and anyway it will carry on cooking as it cools.
- And when it is cool, get on with the icing. Whisk the lemon juice into the confectioners' sugar first, then gradually add the water. You want a good, thick icing, so go cautiously and be prepared not to add all the water. Spread over the cooled gingerbread with a palette knife, and leave to set before cutting.
