What you will need
The ingredients
Cookie cutters
Rolling pin
Mixing bowl
Big spoon
Flat baking trays
Cooling rack
Icing for decoration
Skewer
Cling film
Thin red ribbon
Step
1
Pre-heat oven to 200°C. Grease two baking trays. Sieve flour,
baking powder and ginger into a bowl. Cut the butter into small
pieces and then rub it into the dry ingredients, until the mixture
resembles breadcrumbs.
Step
2
Now add the sugar and syrup and mix to a dough. Remove from
the bowl and wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for
30 minutes.
Step
3
Take the dough from the fridge and put it onto a flat surface
and roll it out, making it about half a centimetre thick. Now
you can start cutting out the shapes, which need to be placed
on the greased baking trays.
Step
4
When you have done this, place the trays into the oven and bake
them for 12 minutes. Make
sure you ask an adult to help you.
Step
5
When you take them out of the oven take a skewer and make a
little hole at the top of each biscuit. Leave them for two minutes
before putting them on the cooling rack.
Step
6
Once they are completely cool you can start decorating them
using icing sugar. When the icing sugar is dry, thread some
red ribbon through the hole at the top.
Your
decorations are now ready to hang onto your Christmas tree!
