Ever heard of The Gingerbread Man story? It’s about the Gingerbread Man who ran away as soon as the oven door is opened and in the end, got eaten by a fox. I no longer have the story book but if i see it at the bookstore one day, i will buy it back and read it to my kids as they munch on the Gingerbread Man cookies that i bake. I enjoyed the book very much when i was little.
And here’s my Gingerbread Man Cookie Recipe:
Ingredients:
(A)
60 g butter
100g sugar
pinch of salt
(B )
1 egg
(C)
170g golden syrup/honey
(D)
460g flour
2tsp ginger powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1tsp Baking soda
Method:
1) Mix (A) till well combined. Add in (B) and cream till smooth.
2) Add in (C), then (D) and mix till well blended.
3) Rest the mixture for 15 minutes. Roll it out to a thickness of around 3mm and cut it using a Gingerbread Man cookie cutter.
5) Bake at 180 deg Celcius for 15 minutes.
6) Once cooled, decorate with royal icing.
Royal icing recipe:
180g icing sugar
1 egg white

Mix icing sugar and egg white till smooth and of spreading consistency. For a softer icing, use an extra egg white. For stiffer icing, add extra icing sugar.
