I'm thinking of making little goody baskets. I'm wanting to include some sort of biscuit but don't have time to try out recipes. Does anyone have a great gingerbread or shortbread recipe they want to share?

My fav is one from taste - search gingerbread man and the picture is two gingerbread men with red and green smarties with the same colour icing
They look good. Thanks :):

Yep, this is the best recipe I have found I think. I love it! (Have a triple batch sitting on my bench as we speak waiting to be iced ;))
If you like softer gingerbread(men) then leave them in for 6 minutes, not as long as the recipe suggests, and double the time in the fridge.
My absolute favourite is from martha stewart (yeah I know, I know) but Ive used her recipe for years now and everyone just loves them to pieces.
The trick with gingerbread if you like it really gingery you need to add pepper - sounds crazy but we just did a batch that is the best gingerbread ever!
This is going to sound strange but we don't have any ginger in the house, we have nutmeg & cinnamon aswell as mixed spice.... would any of these flavors go ok instead?
You will get a nice fragrant biscuit but it won't have that gingery edge. Bake em up and you can tell us how it turned out.
PS I would avoid the nutmeg but use a combo of cinnamon + allspice/mixed spice.
Thanks hun, might be a tester for over the holiday's :)
Probably a bit late, but I haven't been on. My favourite gingerbread is in another thread, posted by Beansbeans. Sorry, I cant remember what the thread title is.
