In your local crafts store (Hobby Lobby or Michaels) you can buy Royal Icing in bag. Just follow the direction on package. Or you can follow my recipe for Homemade Royal Icing.

Combine all ingredients in bowl and beat about 5 to 8 minutes until icing is thick. Separate into air tight bowls for desired color to decorate. Keep bowls covered so icing will not dry out. Then decorate your Gingerbread Cookies.
