Festive Gingerbread Biscuits

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl or food processor sift the flour, ginger, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda. Add the butter and combine then stir in the brown sugar.

Beat the egg and golden syrup together and add to the mixture and pulse until a dough consistency forms.

Add the dough to a clean work surface and knead for 2-3 minutes. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and place in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, line a baking tray with baking paper and preheat the oven to 180Cor 160C for fan assisted ovens.

Remove the dough from the fridge and on a clean work surface that's lightly dusted with flour or icing sugar roll the dough out. Using festive biscuit cutters, cut shapes out of the dough and place on the lined baking tray.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the biscuits are a golden brown colour.

Allow the biscuits to completely cool before decorating. We suggest adding natural ingredients to your icing mixture such as Beetroot Powder and Spinach Powder to form a vibrant yet healthier icing.
