Instructions
Prepare gingerbread dough according to package instructions for gingersnap cookies.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface, and cut into 3 1/2-inch ovals, using an egg-shaped or oval cookie cutter.
Place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Remove to wire racks, and let cool 30 minutes.
Stir together meringue powder and 1/2 tsp. hot water until combined; stir in frosting. Spoon frosting mixture into a zip-top plastic freezer bag; snip 1 corner of bag to make a small hole. Pipe 1 dot of frosting mixture at top of 1 cookie; press straight ends of 2 candy canes into piped dot to form antlers. Pipe 2 dots in center of cookie; press 1 licorice candy in each dot to form eyes. Pipe 1 dot at bottom of cookie; press 1 cherry candy in dot to form a nose. Repeat procedure with remaining cookies, frosting mixture, and candies.
Let stand 24 hours to dry, if desired.
