Ingredients
0.5 tsp Almond Extract
230 g Butter
200 g Caster Sugar
1 medium Egg
300 g Plain Flour
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 handfull Chocolate Chips
1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground Ginger
Directions
  1. Preheat fan oven to 180°C. Start by making the dough. Cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer. Add rest of ingredients and mix until combined. You can use your hands as the dough gets thicker.
  2. Put on a floured surface and divide into 4 even pieces. Each piece will make a different flavour, the first one being plain so no need to add anything.
  3. Add ginger and cinnamon for the gingerbread shape, add chocolate chips to a different batch, finally add cocoa powder to the last batch. Roll out on to a floured surface and cut out using cookie cutters. Place on a lined baking tray and bake at 180°C for approximately 10 minutes or until golden.
  4. Let cool on the tray for a few minutes before removing. Once cooled decorate with your favourite toppings.
