- 6 tbsp of golden syrup

Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the melted ingredients, chopped ginger and the beaten egg. Mix to form a soft dough then wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour.Step 3
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 0.5cm thick and use star cutters (or your chosen shape) to stamp out the biscuits.Step 4
Lift the biscuits onto baking sheets lined with baking parchment and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.Step 5
Now it's time to decorate! There's loads of ways you can do this; pipe a small amount of vanilla icing onto the centre of half of the biscuits, and then sandwich the other half on top; roll out some ready to roll icing and use cookie cutters to stamp out the shapes, use a bit of vanilla icing to stick them onto your biscuits; or why not do this with the ready to roll icing, and then stick silver balls all over the top?
