The best GINGERBREAD in the world! 8

This is HONESTLY the yummiest gingerbread I have ever tasted!

The recipe is ULTRA simple and we have been making a batch every couple of days in this household! Like the candy cane tarts, these make a great host/hostess gift and everyone likes a gingerbread cookie with their cuppa tea when they pop over during the silly season! (I loathe that phrase, “silly season” can’t believe I just used it….. Moving on…)

I also haven’t met a kid that doesn’t love Gingerbread!

ENJOY!

Ingredients (Makes about 30 heart biscuits or 20 gingerbread men)

125g butter

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup golden syrup

1 egg yolk

2½ cups plain flour

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon all spice

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

2. Prepare two baking paper lined trays.
3. In an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar together until it is pale and creamy.
4. Add the golden syrup and egg yolk and beat until combined.
5. Turn off mixer and using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour, spices, ginger and baking soda.
6. Lightly flour the bench and place dough on top.
7. Knead dough until smooth and then press the dough into a disc shape.
8. Cover dough with cling wrap and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
