I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
Place all ingredients into mixing bowl and mix 12 sec/speed 6, then knead 50 sec/"Dough mode" .
Transfer gingerbread mixture onto a lightly floured ThermoMat or work surface and shape into a smooth ball. Transfer mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place into refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
Place chilled gingerbread mixture between two sheets of baking paper and roll out to a 4mm thickness. Remove top layer of baking paper, then using a cookie cutter, cut out desired shapes (e.g. gingerbread people, stars, hearts, Christmas trees).
Place gingerbread shapes onto prepared baking tray and bake for 10 minutes (180°C) until lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Decorate shapes as desired, then serve or store in an airtight container.
Tip
This recipe produces approximately 12-18 gingerbread biscuits. This number could vary depending on the size and shape of your cookie cutter.
Tips:
- To decorate, use the Royal icing recipe in The Basic Cookbook or Everyday Cookbook.
- If using the gingerbread for decorating your Christmas tree, use a drinking straw to punch a hole at the top of the biscuit prior to baking so a ribbon can be threaded through for hanging once cooled.

Thank you! It was very helpful!
Great recipe
Yum. Very tasty and easy to work with.
Thanks for a really good Gingerbread Biscuits recipe. I took another cooks advice & melted the butter, golden syrup & brown sugar before adding the other ingredients. Cookies came out spot on, delicious 😋

This recipe was fine, maybe the ones who had a problem had cold butter this can make a difference to the consistancy
Second time I have made these, no problems with the mixture being crumbly. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays!
The mixture was crumbly but I just added a bit of extra melted butter as I was rolling it into a ball & it worked out perfectly. They taste delicious. Will definitely use this recipe again.
Easy and yummy
I made a double batch but had to take out half to mix and knead. I melted my butter. These bikkies are very moorish and our 7 and 5 year old had so much fun making and decorating them. We will definitely be making these again.
