Iced Gingerbread Cookies – the classic Christmas cookie!
When I think of Christmas cookies, gingerbread is the first thing that comes to mind; to me, they are the quintessential festive cookie, and Christmas wouldn’t be complete without having baked a batch or three.

Let's make Iced Gingerbread Cookies
Step 1
Place the butter, sugar, golden syrup, treacle, water, and orange zest in a pan and heat gently while stirring until it is melted and smooth.
Step 2
Remove the pan from the heat and beat in the spices and baking soda, followed by the flour. Mix until it forms a smooth dough, then cover the pan and place in the fridge for about an hour, until the dough is firm.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking trays with baking parchment. Bring the dough together into a ball and roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters and place them slightly spaced apart on the baking trays.
Step 4
Place the trays in the freezer for 15 minutes until firm, then bake for 10-15 minutes until the cookies feel firm when lightly pressed and have begun to darken a little around the edges.
