A charming gingerbread man cookie, baked to a warm golden-brown perfection, with slightly crisp, textured edges and a softer, chewier center. Its eyes and mouth are carefully piped with bright white royal icing, forming a cheerful smile. Two vibrant red candy buttons adorn its chest, adding a pop of color. The surface is mostly smooth from the icing, contrasting with the subtle graininess of the cookie itself.
