Gingerbread cookies

Happy new year!
Sorry I am a bit retarded... holiday just makes my brain works slower... I thought I posted the recipe of gingerbread but actually not... oh no... sorry it comes late :( but I still make a batch today haha! I don't care, it's too delicious :)

I remembered the first time I made gingerbread was in Finland, we can buy ready dough in the supermarket to make the cookies, the smell of cinnamon is very good. I hated it when I was a child but now I love it.
This Christmas I wanted to make some gingerbread cookies with my niece and nephew, as we spent the Christmas together. They really enjoyed cutting the dough and they loved the taste too!






This recipe is quite good, so here you go:

Ingredients:
100g butter at room temperature
50g cane sugar
1g salt
1 egg

75g honey

300g flour
1/2tsp baking powder
1tsp cinnamon
2tsp ginger powder

Instructions:
1. Mix butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl, then add egg and mix well

2. Add honey, mix well.
Add in baking powder, flour, cinnamon and ginger powder, mix well

3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 30mins

4. Preheat the oven at 180°c
Roll out the dough to 0.5cm thickness - I prefer a bit thinner than too thick, use cookie cutter to cut out the cookie form
Place them on a tray lined with a baking sheet

5. Put the tray into the oven and bake for 15mins

Enjoy!
