Gingerbread Snowmen

Description

Today I made gingerbread men! The recipe made a lot more than I expected it to as I rolled it out thinner and it was intended to make a 12 normal size gingerbread men rather than snowmen, christmas trees, hearts and holly leaves. Unfortunately the recipe is a little rich and I ate too many and as a result, regret it and have indigestion. :( my tummy is making strange noises.
I am also entering it in the :iconcute-as-pie: Winter Fantasy Contest.

350g/3 cups Plain flour
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
115g/ ½ cup Unsalted Butter
175g/ 1 cup Muscovado Sugar
1 Egg
2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
1.) Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180°C/350°F. Grease two baking trays or cover them with baking paper.
2.) Put the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and butter into a bowl. Use your hands to break up the butter and mix the ingredients together until they begin to resemble breadcrumbs.
3.) Add the sugar, egg and golden syrup and mix together with your hands again until you can form a ball.
4.) Take the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and pliable.
5.) Roll out the dough and cut out figures with cutters or templates (I made my own) and transfer onto the baking trays.
6.) Bake for 15 minutes until slightly risen and beginning to colour around the edges. Leave for five minute, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
7.) I don’t think anyone needs instructions on how to ice biscuits!(I had fun with tubes, sprinkles, chocolate balls and other brightly coloured sugary things!)

So cute! I made gingerbread men, reindeer, holly leaves and christmas trees! Yum yum.

Where did you get the little stars! They are so cute! I've bought some edible glitter stars but my search for star sprinkles hasn't been so successful...
