Making gingerbread men is great fun for children - let them help roll out the dough, press out the shapes... then after baking they can have fun decorating!

This recipe is going incredible! I love it so much but I do have a few tips of you want to make them even better. Instead of just using one tablespoon of ginger I used slightly more, as well as adding a bit of cinnamon which I really think helped give it that nice spicy flavor. The only thing for me was the icing.

Fantastic recipe! So easy to make. I also put half to one teaspoon of cinnamon, pinch of ground black pepper, pinch of salt, and a pinch of ground cloves. Absolutely beautiful!
Preheat oven to 180°C bake (160°C fan-forced). Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Place the Edmonds Standard Grade Flour, Chelsea Sugar, ginger and Edmonds Baking Soda in a bowl or food processor. Add butter and rub in with fingertips or pulse in food processor until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add egg and Chelsea Golden Syrup and stir or pulse to form a dough. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour until it forms a workable dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Cut out shapes using biscuit cutters and place on trays. Form leftover dough into a ball and re-roll and repeat cutting out until dough is used up.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Icing Make icing by beating egg white with a fork until frothy. Fold in the other ingredients to form a pipeable icing. You can test for the correct consistency of icing by dragging a knife over the surface. If the surface smoothes over in approximately 10 seconds, the icing is at the right consistency. Mix in water in very small quantities, until this consistency is achieved.
Colour icing if desired. Place icing in resealable bags or piping bags. Snip off the corner and pipe decorations onto each biscuit. Use icing to attach lollies or currants, if using.
