Gingerbread kids

I made these mini gingerbread man or maybe... "gingerbread kids" for a couple of reasons...

Mainly...I wanted to have these little men to create a new look for my blog. Second is that I had this idea from observing the behaviour of my husband and my boy...(giggles)

I hope you will enjoy the comics strips that I created with these gingerbread kids as much as I did... LOL

Here's the recipe from the Australian Woman Weekly, Macaroons and biscuits cookbook

125 g butter, softened
1/2 cup (110g) dark brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 1/2 cup (375g) plain flour
1tsp bicarbonate of soda (I use baking powder)
3 tsp ground ginger (I use 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp ginger)
1/2 cup (175g) golden syrup

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line oven trays with baking paper.
2. Beat butter, sugar and egg yolk until smooth.
3. Stir in sifted dry ingredients and syrup in 2 batches.
4. Knead dough gently on floured surfaced until smooth. Roll dough to 5mm thickness and cut accordingly to shapes as required.
5. Bake about 10 minutes. Cool on tray.

Happy Baking
