These simple gingerbread cookies make a great edible Christmas gift. They can be also turned into Christmas ornaments! Honey flavored dough makes them extra delicious.
In a bowl, mix together sifted flour, sifted sugar and gingerbread spice mix.
Add the egg, butter and honey. Using your hand combine all the ingredients together until you form a sticky dough.
Place the dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.
The following day take the dough out. Roll it thin and cut out any shapes you like.
Bake at 350°F/180°C for 10 minutes.
Notes
Plastic Bag - Zip-lock bag is a great choice but cling film can also be used.
Optional - To get a really shiny look on your gingerbread cookies, shortly before they are ready (about 8 minutes into baking) take the cookies out and brush with egg wash.
