SPARKLY GINGERBREAD
Made with a combination of fresh and ground ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves, these gingerbread cookies are extra-spicy and very crisp. You could leave them plain, if you like, but painting them with brightly colored royal icing and sprinkling them with sugar makes them shine. Gingerbread keeps better than many other kinds of cookies. These will last for at least 2 weeks - probably even longer - stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or hand-held electric beaters, beat brown sugar and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg, molasses and fresh ginger, and mix until well combined.
- Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated.
- Divide dough in half and scrape onto two pieces of plastic wrap, wrapping each piece separately into a flat disk. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days.
- When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. Use parchment paper or nonstick liners to line 3 baking sheets, or lightly grease them with nonstick cooking spray. (You may need to bake the cookies in batches.)
- On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll one disk of dough 1/8-inch thick. Using cookie cutters, cut out all the dough. With a small metal spatula, place the gingerbread cut-outs onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between cookies. Repeat with remaining dough. You can reroll the scraps once. Collect them from both pieces of dough, smush them together into a disk and chill before rerolling again.
- Bake small cookies for 8 to 12 minutes, and larger ones for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cookies are firm to the touch and their edges are slightly darker in color. Rotate cookie sheets halfway through for even baking.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets until firm enough to lift, about 5 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
- To decorate, thin the royal icing with water until it's as thick as heavy cream (thinner than you'd use for piping). Divide it into small bowls (or a muffin tin), and use food coloring to tint it different colors. Use a brush to paint the cookies with icing, and, if you like, use toothpicks to apply more icing to make patterns. Sprinkle with colored sugar or other decorations, if you like, while the icing is still wet. Put the decorated cookies on baking sheets to set, then move them to tins or other airtight containers with parchment between the layers.

- Download and print the Gingerbread House templates(PDF, 107kb). You will need more than one of some parts, as indicated in the template references.
- Make the gingerbread. Heat the sugar, golden syrup and orange juice in a large pan over a low heat, until all the sugar crystals have melted (about 5 minutes).
- Divide the warm dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll out each piece between 2 sheets of cling film until 5mm thick. Slide the cling-filmed gingerbread sheets onto the baking sheets and refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
- Once the gingerbread has cooled, transfer the pieces to a lightly floured work surface and cut out the gingerbread pieces using the templates, re-rolling the trimmings as necessary.
- Cut 2 small holes along a long edge of each roof piece – make sure the holes line up when you place the edges side by side (you’ll thread string through them to secure the roof pieces together).
- Chill the gingerbread pieces for 1 hour (this will prevent them spreading during baking).
- Meanwhile make the strong royal icing. Beat the powdered egg white with the water and lemon juice in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until frothy.
- Spoon one quarter of the icing into the small piping bag fitted with the writing nozzle. Spoon another quarter into the disposable piping bag. Cover the remaining icing with a damp tea towel until needed.
- Bake the small pieces of gingerbread for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and firm. Slide onto a wire rack to cool.
- Bake the large gingerbread pieces for 15 minutes, then pop 2–3 red boiled sweets into each square window pane and 1 yellow boiled sweet into each round window and return to the oven.
