Gingerbreadman Cookies

I've always loved gingerbread cookies and thought it was about time to experiment in the kitchen and start making them for the first time.
I ended up having to substitute some of the butter (ran out) and the molasses (because couldn't find it in my country). But they came out lovely and I would find myself eating a cookie and saying that would be my last before reaching for another 😋😙

Very good recipe. I added bacon and The Kraken Rum to mine, so hopefully the additions will come out well.
