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

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI would like to make this gingerbread cookie for my son, however, I do not have golden syrup, what can I use instead to replace it?
Thank you,
Phoebii
Hi Phoebii,
DeleteI have not tried baking this recipe with any golden syrup substitution. However, you can try honey or corn syrup which can be a little more viscous. Warming them slightly might reduce their viscosity slightly. Have fun experimenting!
