ULTIMATE EASY GINGERBREAD

Steps:

• Heat the butter, syrup and sugar together in a small pan until melted, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Mix together the bicarb, ginger, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl. Pour in the buttery syrup mixture and stir to combine, then use your hands to bring together to form a dough. The dough will be soft at this point, but it'll firm up in the fridge.
• Put the dough on a sheet of baking parchment, shape into a rectangle, and lay another sheet of parchment on top of it. Roll the dough out to a thickness of ½cm. Transfer to a baking sheet to keep it flat, leaving the parchment in place, then chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a large baking sheet with more baking parchment. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. We used 9cm stars, but you can choose any shape. We also made some with smaller stars cut out of the centre to thread ribbon through and hang from a Christmas tree.
• Place the shapes, spread apart, on the lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 mins. (Depending on the size of the cutters you use, they might need a few minutes more or less cooking in the oven). Leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with 1-2 tbsp water - you want to create a consistency that's thick and pipeable, and not too thin or it will run. Decorate the cooled biscuits with the icing using a piping bag with a thin nozzle. Find out how to make a piping bag.

GINGERBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Roll the mixture into 20 even-sized balls (weighing for accuracy, if you like). Tip the caster sugar onto a small plate, then add each ball and roll around to coat. Space each ball out on the baking sheets. Bake for 9-10 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

GINGERBREAD WEDGES

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir gingerbread ingredients until soft dough forms. On surface dusted with Bisquick mix, roll dough in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape into ball; knead 10 times. Pat dough into 8-inch round on cookie sheet. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
• Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until set and starting to brown.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix powdered sugar, butter and lemon peel with spoon. Stir in lemon juice until glaze is smooth enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over wedges. Carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.

TASTY CHEWY GINGERBREAD BISCUITS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (approx gas 5) and grease 2 large baking trays
• Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and cinnamon in a bowl
• add the golden syrup and the butter and mix together well until it forms a soft workable dough. (If it is too crumbly you can add a little more butter, or if it is too sticky add a little more flour)
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1cm thick and use a cutter of your choice to cut them into shapes
• Lay out the shapes on the baking trays allowing a little room for them to expand
• Cook for around 10-15 minutes depending on how chewy you want them (the longer time the harder they will be)
