Christmas gingerbread biscuits

Traditional Christmas cookies are lovely and full of different Christmas flavours. Personally, I also like these slightly lighter gingerbreads with a healthy hint of ginger. These gingerbreads are quick to make and the dough is available in the same way as traditional gingerbread dough.

Try different shapes of cookie cutters and let your imagination run wild with the decorations! You can find a variety of fun cookie cutter shapes here >>
