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.

    Submitted by lu and thermo on 21. December 2017 - 21:38.

    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.

    Submitted by jjwall@iinet.net.au on 12. December 2016 - 23:12.

    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.....

    Submitted by KB in the NT on 26. May 2015 - 20:09.

    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!

    Great recipe thank you. We used it to make a Donna hay inspired christmas tree garland. We are also going to make a stacked christmas tree. Was hard to roll straight from fridge so let it sit on kitchen bench for 30 minutes before rolling. Also found it useful to roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper.

    Submitted by jacksmum on 9. December 2013 - 16:30.

    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!

  •   Hi, the icing that I have

    Submitted by Bec on 14. August 2012 - 14:11.

     

    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. tmrc_emoticons.)

    Submitted by Bec on 26. May 2012 - 08:19.

    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

    Submitted by kturner07 on 25. May 2012 - 23:40.

    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 tmrc_emoticons.)

    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.
