These soft-style gingerbread biscuits are German yuletide treats and very simple to make. The combination of spices gives a real Christmassy feel.

Ingredients

100g softened butter

100g caster sugar

100g soft dark brown sugar

3 large eggs

350g plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

125g ground almonds

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

a splash of full-fat milk

for the icing:

200g icing sugar

2 tablespoons water

Method

  1. Cream the butter and sugars together until the sugars have dissolved and the mix is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat after each addition. Fold in the dry ingredients, then add enough milk to bring all the ingredients together and form a soft dough – you may not need any milk. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.

  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C/Gas 4 and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

  3. On a floured work surface, roll out half the dough to a 5mm thick. Using a cutter of your choice, stamp out shapes and place on the prepared tray, allowing room to spread. Repeat using the remaining dough.

  4. Bake for 15 minutes. The biscuits will has risen and be golden brown on the surface. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  5. Mix the icing sugar with the water to form a smooth icing. Spread the icing over the surface of the biscuits. Leave to set before eating.
