Preheat an oven to 180° C. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour (previously sifted), baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Beat and add an egg to the mixture. Then, add the butter (at room temperature) and continue mixing until all the ingredients are incorporated and you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Sprinkle a little flour on the surface where you will work the dough. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin (1 centimeter thick), and cut out the cookies with a gingerbread man cookie cutter. Place the cookies on a tray with a silicone mat or wax paper. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fully cooked. Allow them to cool before decorating. For decoration: add egg whites to a bowl, stir and gradually incorporate the powdered sugar. Add a few drops of lemon juice. Divide the mixture into several bowls (depending on how many colors you want to use to decorate the cookies) and color each bowl's mixture with a different food coloring. Pour each color into a piping bag and attach a small round tip. Decorate the cookies.
