I wish I'd left one spare, just realised you can get a holly leaf if you turn 2 sideways and put red sweets at the head end. Oh well, next year lol!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Here is my favourite gingerbread recipe - there are some other cookie decoration ideas within it too
- 2
For the reindeer make a thick glaze with icing sugar and a little water - add some cocoa to colour it brown
- 3
Turn the man upsides down so the legs are at the top
- 4
Spread it into the shape shown and set a red or black sweet on the end for a nose
- 5
Set aside to dry
- 6
Make white glaze for the snowmen and spread it all over the cookie. This is great for covering cookies that got overbrowned at the edges!
- 7
I like to dust with some shimmer powder to make them a bit sparkly
- 8
Use choc chips, sugar pearls, raisins or anything you like to make the eyes, nose, mouth & buttons
- 9
Pipe some leftover white icing on to make eyes on the reindeer and use a black icing pen to do the pupils, mouth and ear outlines
- 10
Use some coloured icing or an icing pen to give scarf detail, add a hat if you like!
- 11
Let dry again and they're done!

I have made these for my little one's preschool snack. The kids loved them. It is quick and easy and turns out wonderful!! You can even use pre-cut out dough from the store and frosting or cooking glaze from the store as well in place of making it all yourself for an even easier treat.

Gingerbread Cake Gingerbread Cake
This cake is inspired by the amazing Chef John @foodwishes. This cake is moist, dense and fudgy. The only kinda cake which I would eat, as you should have known by now. I love the wonderful aroma of gingerbread spice, especially during final baking process. If I were to compare my previous pumpkin cake and this gingerbread cake, I would definitely go for gingerbread.What really got me is the hint of molasses aftertaste. It lingers at the back of my mouth for quite awhile which leaves me wanting for more. Pls do not use fresh grated ginger. It will overpower everything else (speaking from experience). Just use regular ground ginger. I also added a pinch of Chinese 5 spice for that oomph undertone flavor.I also decided to add a touch of lemon glaze to bring freshness to the cake. You can of cos serve the cake as it is, or you can go the extra mile and serve it with ice cream and tuile. Pls do not be intimidated by the look of it. It is actually fairly simple and easy. If all hell breaks loose, try again cos at the end of the day, it is just a kitchen fail down the bin. What you gain is experience, which is priceless. Okay, enuff of ranting and let's get started with the recipe.

You could also cut a large disc of ready roll icing and drape it over the top, it would pleat nicely around the cookies, stuck on with a little jam instead of using royal icing -

Christmas Cookie Decoration '08 Christmas Cookie Decoration '08
These decorations are an every year traditio,n but this year, 2008, I added a mini version of the train fromand simply made this tree. I also added the ornaments. This recipe also made an appearance in the December 16 & 25, 2008 editions of "Gohan Nikki" (Food Journal)Since the dough needs to be frozen, prepare it and cut out the shapes beforehand. Doing it the day before is also okay. Just so you know, I made the dough, cut the shapes, baked, and built it all on different days.In our family, we enjoy eating the cookies bit by bit before Christmas, like an advent calendar!
