Hanging Gingerbread Biscuits

Beat the butter and brown sugar together until fully mixed.

Add 1 egg and mix until smooth. Set aside.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices into a large bowl.

Add the butter mixture made earlier and incorporate until a stiff dough is formed.

Roll out between two pieces of clingfilm until about 3 mm (⅛ inch) thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Cut out the shapes you would like with a cookie cutter and place on a baking tray lined with paper.

Use a small cocktail stick to create a small hole in each biscuit for the ribbon.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Cool on the tray for two minutes, opening up the hole again if closed while baking.

Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Decorate with chocolate or icing sugar, and use string/ribbon to hang off your tree.

Enjoy!
