👋 Hi Everyone...
Today, I have a delicious "Gingerbread Cookies" recipe to share with you;
It's been my go-to tried recipe for over a decade.
Moist, gingery and not too sweet.
And the consistency of Royal Icing is just perfect and easy to make.
I hope that you enjoy the recipe!

INSTRUCTIONS
🌿 Gingerbread Cookie Dough
1. In a heavy saucepan mix the Water, Brown Sugar, Molasses, Honey, Cinnamon Powder, Fresh Ginger (grated) and Ground Cloves.
Stir well and then bring it to the boil.
2. Once boiled, pour the mixture to the heat proof bowl, stir in the diced Salted Butter; stir until all the butter melted.
3. Add the Baking Soda, mix well; Allow to cool until just slightly warm.
4. Once the mixture has cooled, pour in the All-Purpose Flour and mix until it forms a wet and sticky dough.
5. Wrap the dough in cling-film and chill for a couple hours or overnight.
6. Knead the chilled dough briefly and then roll the dough on a piece of baking paper to an even thickness (5 mm).
Notes: I usually roll and cut the dough on parchment paper so I don't have to move the cut cookies.
7. Lay the mould on top and cut out the cookies (tidy up the edges).
8. Chill the cut cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking (chilled cookie dough will hold its shape better because it tends not to spread too much).
9. Bake the chilled cookies in the preheated oven 200°C/ 180°C fan/ Gas 6
for 12-15 Minutes (rotating the pan halfway through baking).
10. Once it's done, let it cool slightly in the pan for 3 minutes; and then carefully transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
🌿 Royal Icing
Simply combine all the ingredient, mix well.
Divide and colour it as needed.

If anyone is afraid that this space between legs and arms can broke, one time I just carved those lines after baking it with small chisle. Not to deep just to make it look like there is space between legs/arms. Works great if your gingerbread is soft or easily crack 😊
