Tip
A few people have asked if they can make and roll out this dough out straight away.
I don't suggest you do that for two reasons,
1. The flavour won't be at its best, and
2. Without resting in the fridge overnight, you'll find this dough hard to work with. Just leave it wrapped in the fridge overnight, remove and let it come to a workable temperature before rolling. You can leave it in the fridge for 2 or 3 days or even freeze at this stage for up to a month.

Thank-you! These gingerbread cookies are delicious! I left them in the fridge for a few days till we had time to roll & bake. Will up the spices next time as we love them. I added a bit more flour too to get a dough consistancy as it was a bit runny when completed and they still came out perfect. Made one batch as per recipe then another batch with Quirky Jo's gluten free flour mix and nuttelex and they came out soo good too!
Iced with icing on another recipe: 1 egg white and 150g icing sugar. Be careful you will want to eat the whole batch.

Just wondering if you measured 5g by teaspoon or went by the 5g on the scales of the thermomix? When I added ground cloves to the thermomix to get 5g it took over 2 teaspoons? I have just tasted the mix and it tasted quite clovey.... hope the scales haven't messed up the balance of spices? I find the scales to be quite inaccurate when measuring small quantities.....
Really easy and so yummy.

Easy to make FODMAP
Easy to make FODMAP friendly
This recipe is terrific for fodmap diets - just use glucose syrup instead of golden syrup and gluten free flour instead of plain. Works perfectly everytime.
Thanks so much for sharing. We make it up and freeze in snap lock bags so we can always have fresh ginger bread - YUM!

Bingo! so happy to have come
Bingo! so happy to have come across this recipe. The recipe was accurate and the dough 'behaved' as expected. I ended up making simple discs of gingerbread that I intended to decorate but they were so delicious that they didn't stay around long enough. This recipe confirms my belief that gingerbread shouldn't just be a Christmas treat - it should be an all year one!
Sounds yum! Can't wait to try

Hey The Rob, Glad you like
Hey The Rob,
Glad you like it. Just curious though. Forever trying to make my recipes amazing, did you rest the mix over night? Just wondering why you had to add the extra flour. Adding more flour might make the mix a little tough.

These were brilliant! I didn't even ice them as they were just too good without icing! Next time I'll decorate them with the kids. We all loved them in this house! Thanks!
Hi, the icing that I have
Hi,
the icing that I have used in the picture, is a fondant or ready rolled icing. I prefer Bakels as it is easily found in most cake decorating shops or I am sure you could find it on line. You can use the brand that is found in most supermarkets but you have to work it well as it is very hard. There is a recipe around for fondant in the TM but I haven’t tried it myself. I usually buy this in bulk.

That's great. This recipe, is one that is used in Bakeries. I am a pastry chef and have used it for years, for all sorts of events. Thank you for the nice comment on the decorations. Most people think of gingerbread at Christmas time but you can use it all year round. Especially nice in winter though.

I can't wait to try this
I can't wait to try this recipe! The last gingerbread recipe I tried wasn't particularly nice (it was just off the back of a packet of something I had bought) but this one looks very promising. Love the icing by the way
Hi Kturner07,I am sorry your
Hi Kturner07,
I am sorry your shapes spread. I make this mix commercially and have never had that problem. The mix should be quite firm when it comes out of the fridge the next day. But shouldn’t need to go back in the fridge to set up at all. I wonder if your measurements could have been off a bit? I hope this doesn’t put you off trying them again.
Regards
Bec

These were yummy, but I found
These were yummy, but I found that the dough spread a lot during cooking so my shapes didn't turn out very well. To improve on this a bit I popped the cut shapes back in the fridge for 15 mins before baking. Still not a great result, but very delicious nonetheless
Beautiful sweet spicy
Beautiful sweet spicy flavour! I rolled mine out quite thick, and so they needed 20 mins at 180 degrees - the texture was still quite soft. Very nice.
