- 400g caster sugar
- 8 tbsp golden syrup

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4.
5. Roll out the dough to 3mm thickness. Cut out biscuits into gingerbread person shapes.
6. Place the gingerbread biscuits on greased, non-stick baking sheets.
7. Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
8. Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets.
9. Decorate the biscuits with piped royal icing in skeleton shapes. Store in an airtight container.
