Background

Gingerbread men dough can be used for other shapes too during the winter holidays - for Halloween use moon, bat and ghost shapes, for Christmas use star, tree, bell shapes and so on. The recipe of these gingerbread cookies is worth remembering, as it’s a really easy bake yet the biscuits are absolutely yummy. Decorate them nicely - and you can give them to your friends as presents!

Ingredients

350g flour
1 tsp ginger
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
100g butter or dairy free spread
100g soft cane sugar
1 egg
4 Tbsp golden syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Mix the flour with the baking soda and spices. Rub in the butter with your finger tips then add the sugar and mix.
Mix the syrup with the egg in a small bowl, then add this to the crumbs, and combine until you get a smooth dough. Knead it for a couple of minutes on a lightly floured work surface (like with bread dough).
Roll it out to 5mm thickness then stamp out little people or festive shapes.
Place the cookies onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden.
Leave to cool on a wire rack, then decorate them with icing/chocolate pen if you like.
