London – The chefs inside Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s official residence, released their second annual official Christmas recipe to the public. This year, we’re baking gingerbread ornaments for your Christmas tree! 

Last year, Head Chef Mark Flanagan shared this mince pie recipe with us. 

Once the icing is dry, loop some string or ribbon through the hole and hang them on the Christmas tree. They make a great project to work on with the kids – add decorations like edible glitter, Smarties and Jelly Tots. 

The traditional recipe is easy enough to make at home, but I don’t think that we could ever get them this perfect!

When the family is altogether on Christmas morning, you can nibble on the cookies with a cup of tea. Just remember to keep them out of reach of the family dog, who may think these biscuits are just for her!

Makes 10 (50mm Diameter) Cookies

200g Self-Raising Flour
1 teaspoon of Ground Ginger
1 teaspoon of Mixed Spice

25g Granulated Sugar for dusting

Method

Wrap in film and allow to rest for minimum 2 hours (best left over night) Pre heat the oven to 180 Celcius. Roll out to approximately 3mm (but depends on the size of the cookie you wish to make), cut shapes out and lay on to greaseproof paper or silicon mat sprinkle with a little granulated sugar before baking at 180 degrees until set. Allow to cool fully on a cooling rack before icing with your choice of design.
