How do you know Easter is fast approaching? For me, it’s when my kitchen smells like Easter with all the gingerbread cookies baking! Let’s celebrate your holiday with this recipe by making your own delicious bunny, egg, carrot and chick-shaped cookies.
Don’t miss out a fun day baking and decorating these cookies at home with your kids. You can leave them plain and sprinkle them with icing sugar, drizzle them with melted chocolate or royal icing or decorate them with fondant like I have done here.
They are also great Easter gifts for your family and friends, simply wrap with some cellophane bags and cute ribbons.
Gingerbread Cookie Recipe
Makes: 10-15 cookies
40g Unsalted butter
60g Caster sugar
30g Honey
½tsp Baking soda
1tsp Ground cinnamon
¼tsp Ground cloves
½tsp Ground ginger
25g Egg
125g Plain flour
1. Using an electric hand-held mixer, beat unsalted butter and caster sugar together until mixture is light.
2. Add honey, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger, egg and plain flour in. Beat together at low speed until well combined.
3. Rest dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 160ºC. Roll the dough with a rolling pin until 4mm thick.
5. Cut your preferred shapes out with a cookie cutter and insert a cookie pop stick halfway into each cut dough.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
7. Let cookies cool on a wire rack before decorating them. If you are decorating with fondant, you can use sugar syrup to adhere it to the cookie.
Happy Easter Everyone!
