you know those gingerbread cookies that you ice and use as decorations?

[Glassofwine]

Well does anyone have a receipe for something similar but not ginger as my lo's are not keen.

Was hoping to do this as an after school activity.

Nigella Lawson did these on her programme that was on BBC2 - was on last night. See if it is repeated or look on the BBC website etc. HTH

[Glassofwine]

ooh - I recorded it - how sad am I? Will have a quick look. thanks

Or you could make shapes of salt dough (there have been a few recipes posted recently) and decorate those - they are not edible though!

[Spicedfennelwine]

Or just biscuit dough without the ginger. our recipe is something like 4oz butter, 4oz sugar, 8oz flour, one egg.

I want to make these but where do you get the little silver balls to decorate them with?

[KTreePee]

In the baking section of most supermarkets

[TwinklingTinselAndTenaLady]

bugger the balls, the kids wont have any teeth left!!! Dont do much for mine either. I create balls with icing in reds and greens just as nice and you can put the kids names on them too.

[bakedpotato]

I've made these, the only reliable Nigella recipe I've ever encountered AND they are yum

[LittleSarah]

Well dd is not going to be allowed to eat them!!

[Glitterygookwithchocsonthetree]

Could you honestly keep them on the tree?! Mine can't keep their mits off the non-edible baubles, never mind gingerbread!!

[LittleSarah]

Well dd is still pretty wee, I think I shall just hang em high up... I shall not be tempted, oh no no!
