Report

Cut-Out Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies, some Christmas cookies full of festive flavour and incredibly delicious. Inspired by the popular gingerbread men cookies, these chocolate gingerbreads are rich, spiced and beautifully snappy and crisp. A big hit with kids and grown-ups, my cookies are a must-bake this Christmas season.

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and cocoa powder, add the ground ginger, cinnamon and mixed spice and mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Add the sugar, butter cut into cubes, golden syrup and chocolate chips to a pan set over a low heat.
Stir continuously with a silicone spatula until everything is smooth.
Add the chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients, add the egg beaten well, and use your hands to knead everything into a dough.
Cover the dough in clingfilm and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Roll the dough out onto the work surface, and use your favourite cookie cutters to cut out cookies.
Arrange them onto a baking tray, working in batches - do not overcrowd the tray.
Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit, 180 degrees fan oven) for 10 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool down completely.
Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Notes

The baking time depends entirely on how big the cookies are, and also on how crunchy you want the cookies to be. If you like them on the softer side, you can bake them for less, I would say 8 minutes is a good time to remove them from the oven.
But if you like a good snap, bake them for a bit longer, and also roll them out on the thinner side, thicker cookies will stay softer. Whatever cookie cutters you chose, make sure they are of a similar size, so they bake well at the same time.
The cookies will continue to firm as as they cool down completely, it's ok if they still feel as bit soft to touch as they come out of the oven, they won't stay soft for long.
