Ingredients

For the Gingerbread Men
60g soft butter
50g brown sugar
60g honey
1 egg yolk
190g flour
2g gingerbread spice mix
2 ½g baking soda
Pinch of salt
For the filling
15g (1 tbsp) Nutella® per Gingerbread Man
For the icing
50g icing sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
*Serving size calculator is approximate, feel free to adjust by adding a pinch here and there as needed

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C and position the baking rack in the middle of the oven. In a bowl, mix the butter with the sugar and honey, then add the egg yolk. In a second bowl, combine the flour, spice mix and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the first bowl and knead for 1 minute. Wrap the bowl in cling film and chill for 1 hour.
  2. Roll the dough on a sheet of baking paper until 4 mm thick. Cut out the biscuit shape using a gingerbread man cookie cutter. Arrange the biscuits onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 8–9 minutes or until slightly golden.
  3. Leave the biscuits to cool on the tray for 15 minutes. Spread a biscuit with a teaspoon of Nutella® and add another gingerbread man on top. Continue this way until you have used all the biscuits.
  4. To make the icing, mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice, half a teaspoon at a time, until you get a smooth paste then transfer to a piping bag. Decorate each biscuit with icing — don’t forget to give them smiley faces! Serve with milk for happy dunking, and enjoy!
