Christmas Gingerbread Cookies | Christmas Recipe

Gingerbread cookies are a staple Christmas snack around our parts, and these deliciously chewy ones are soft enough that even the littlest of house guests can tuck in.

Easy to make, these keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container and can be decorated in any way you choose. We used our Gingerbread Man cutter (for both the gingerbread people and the reindeer!) and our star cutters.

----------

INGREDIENTS

350g plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground nutmeg
115g butter
175g soft light brown sugar
6 tbsp golden syrup
1 medium egg

-----------

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl before adding the bicarbonate of soda and the spices. Mix thoroughly.

2. Rub in the butter using the tips of your fingers. Keep going until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and set aside.

3. Beat the golden syrup into the egg before stirring into the flour mixture.

4. Bring your dough together in the bowl before removing to a work surface. Flour your work surface and knead your dough until smooth.

5. Roll out your dough until it is half a cm thick. Flour your cutters and stamp out your desired shapes.

6. Place onto a non-stick baking tray and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Your biscuits may seem a little soft but will firm up as they cool.

7. Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before decorating.
