GINGER BISCUIT ROLL
I love this recipe as it can be made with any biscuit (cookie) you like. The stronger flavoured ones are best but will work with any. I love the ginger taste in this. We have a biscuit (cookie) that is quite hard and spicy called Ginger Nut, that is what I used here but you can use a chocolate flavoured one too which is called a...

Steps:
- 1. With no cooking involved the kids can do this all by them selves. Spread a decent dollup of cream between the biscuits and sandwich together to form a log
- 2. Work fast, when you have a log long enough for your needs wrap in plastic wrap tightly and refidgerate for a few hours... over night is better.
- 3. Once the cream is absorbed and the log should be firm. Spread more cream around the log and decorate just before serving with fruit, chocolate, glace ginger... what ever you like.
- 4. Slice on the diagnal and it gives a nice visual slant in the slice... Very rich but oh so moreish!!!

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, beat together butter, castor sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
- Using a whisk, slowly add beaten egg, a little at a time.
- Sift together flour, baking powder , salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and mixed spice (if using) into another bowl.
- Carefully stir flour mixture into butter, sugar, and egg mixture.
- Roll out half the dough between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick. Slide rolled dough, paper and all, onto a large baking sheet. Repeat with the second half of the dough; slide it, paper and all, onto first sheet of dough. Place baking sheet in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- When you are ready to cook the biscuits, heat oven to 350 F and grease a baking sheet with butter.
- Cut dough with a cookie or gingerbread man cutter to the size you wish. We used a 3-inch round cutter, and it yielded about 4 dozen cookies.
- Gather scraps, reroll between sheets of paper and refrigerate again. Continue cutting and rerolling until all of the dough is used.
- In batches, place biscuits on baking sheets. Any rolled out dough or biscuits waiting to go into the oven should be kept cold in the fridge, or they will get too soft.
- Bake each batch for 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from oven. As biscuits will be soft at this point, carefully remove from baking sheet and leave to cool on a wire cooling tray. Once cool, the biscuits will harden and have the perfect snap.

Steps:
- Heat the butter, syrup and sugar together in a small pan until melted, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix together the bicarb, ginger, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl. Pour in the buttery syrup mixture and stir to combine, then use your hands to bring together to form a dough. The dough will be soft at this point, but it'll firm up in the fridge.
- Put the dough on a sheet of baking parchment, shape into a rectangle, and lay another sheet of parchment on top of it. Roll the dough out to a thickness of ½cm. Transfer to a baking sheet to keep it flat, leaving the parchment in place, then chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a large baking sheet with more baking parchment. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. We used 9cm stars, but you can choose any shape. We also made some with smaller stars cut out of the centre to thread ribbon through and hang from a Christmas tree.
- Place the shapes, spread apart, on the lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 mins. (Depending on the size of the cutters you use, they might need a few minutes more or less cooking in the oven). Leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with 1-2 tbsp water - you want to create a consistency that's thick and pipeable, and not too thin or it will run. Decorate the cooled biscuits with the icing using a piping bag with a thin nozzle. Find out how to make a piping bag.
