Halloween Biscuits!

The Little Cook Company has a wonderful range of kitchen utensils for children aged 3 – 8 years, so they can enjoy baking and get creative.

We’ve been making gingerbread biscuits today, it was such fun for Mum and children alike! The cutters are so versatile and lend themselves to different themes. We made some Halloween biscuits, but have used them for festive Christmas baking before. Here are a few ideas! Here we have a selection of ghosts, Dracula, pumpkins, zombies, spiders, webs and skeletons! Do show us your creations on Instagram (@ryedalemumbler) and or Ryedale & The Coast Mumbler Chat Group

I used a simple gingerbread recipe:

10oz self raising flour
3 tsp ground ginger
3 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 tbs golden syrup
3oz margarine or stork
5oz soft sugar
1 egg

1. Sift the flour bicarbonate of soda and ginger together
2. Warm syrup, margarine and sugar
3. Mix together
4. Stir in the egg
5. Bring together into a workable dough
6. Roll out and cut to shape
7. Place on baking tray covered with greaseproof paper
8. Cook at 180 degrees Celsius for approx. 15 mins or until light brown.
9. Allow to cool and place on wire rack
10. Decorate as you wish.
