Every year, I love to get into the festive spirit by making gingerbread biscuits and this year was no exception. Last year I even made a gingerbread house!
These gingerbread biscuits are absolutely delicious and you can have so much fun decorating them. Every year I try to buy a new shaped cookie cutter but favourite is the snowflake.
