Ingredients

100 grams Baking block or butter e.g. Stork
100 grams light brown sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
220 grams plain flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 bag Milkybar Sharing Bag you’ll need 14 big buttons
1 bag Milkybar Treat-sized Bag you’ll need 14 small buttons

Instructions

Start by making the gingerbread biscuits:

Measure the baking block, brown sugar and golden syrup into a saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir until melted and combined. Allow the mixture to bubble up for a few minutes, then remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
100 grams Baking block or butter, 100 grams light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons golden syrup
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder and spices together.
220 grams plain flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Give the cooled butter mixture a good stir, then pour it into the dry ingredients. Fold to make a smooth dough.
Is your dough too dry or crumbly? Add a splash of water and use your hands to bring it together into a soft, smooth and combined dough.
Preheat the oven to 160°C fan / 180°C conventional and line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
Lightly flour a worktop and rolling pin. Roll the dough out to roughly 0.5cm thickness. Use a 5cm round cutter to stamp out biscuits (you’ll need to reroll the scraps to make 14 in total).
Transfer the biscuits to the baking trays. Use a straw or small round piping tip to stamp out a hole at the top of each biscuit.
Place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. This will stop the biscuits from spreading too much and help them keep their shape.
Bake for 12 minutes until firm around the edges. If the holes have closed up during baking, use a straw to make another hole whilst the biscuits are warm. Leave to cool.

Decorate the snowman biscuits:

Thread string or ribbon through the hole and tie in a knot.
Stick two Milkybar buttons on top of the biscuits (one small, one large) to make a snowman shape. Then use the writing icing tubes to add the decorations and bring the snowman to life!
