Today’s Japanese Cooking Recipe is called Gingerbread Men or ジンジャーマンクッキー in Japanese. This is not a Japanese recipe but it was given from a great friend from the US and I thought I try this on Christmas Day for the family. We don’t really have a Christmas traditional dinner here like other countries but I think I will make something special for them tonight, I will share this tomorrow with everyone. Let’s see what we need to make our Gingerbread Men Cookies.

- ⅓ tsp cinnamon
- ⅓ tsp ginger powder
- ¼ tsp cloves
