Loved by Mum’s and Dad’s and the kids. This classic seasonal biscuit hits all the right notes, with warming winter spices of cinnamon and ginger. Purists enjoy them unadorned, but they can be easily ‘Christmas-ified’ with a simple white water icing.

These are dangerously moreish to have to hand. As ever when baking, use vanilla extract, not anything labelled ‘essence’, please.

Impress the kids with these simple to make (but very tasty) Gingerbread style cookies. You can choose to either use a simple Gingerbread Man cutter or a simple round shape to create your own mummified designs.

A simple biscuit. The butter makes it nice and crumbly. Any cheese you fancy works on top of one of these, so they make the perfect companion for your cheese board.
