  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into your desired shapes.

  8. Let them cool for a couple of minutes on a tray, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
  9. While the gingerbread cools, whip the aquafaba in a bowl using electric beaters until really foamy. Add ¾ of the icing sugar and whisk until smooth and thick, then whisk in the rest of the icing sugar and the lemon juice until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
