    How to Make Gingerbread in a Thermomix:

    Please note you will find the full recipe and method in the recipe card below.

    Making this Gingerbread dough really takes no time at all, it can be ready to pop into the fridge to chill in less than 20 minutes.

    1. Place the golden syrup, butter, sugar and spices into your Thermomix bowl and cook.
    2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together.

    3. Carefully transfer the dough onto your bench, you will need to use a spatula to scrape the mixture out of the Thermomix bowl - this is completely normal. Use your hands to shape into a ball before popping into the fridge to chill.

    4. Roll out the dough and use your favourite biscuit cutter before placing onto baking trays. Place into your preheated oven to bake until slightly golden on the edges.

    Tips for Making Gingerbread in a Thermomix:

    1. If you use a traditional gingerbread cutter this recipe will make around 20 gingerbread biscuits.
    2. If you use a different shaped biscuit cutter the cooking time will vary.
    3. Your mixture will be very soft when removing from the Thermomix bowl, this is why it is important to chill the dough before rolling out and cutting.
    4. I find it easiest to roll the dough out on a Thermomat and place a piece of baking paper between the dough and my rolling pin to help keep the surface of the dough smooth.
    5. These biscuits are best stored in an airtight container and enjoyed within one week.
    6. You can freeze both the cooked biscuits and the dough for up to two months.
    Can I use this recipe to make a Gingerbread House?

    Yes you sure can! You will need to keep an eye on the Gingerbread and remove from the oven when the edges are golden.

    Can you freeze Gingerbread?

    Yes, both the dough and the cooked biscuits can be frozen for up to two months.

      Would this work with nuttelex at all? My little man wants to make some but is LF.

        I haven't tried it with Nuttlex before but don't see why it wouldn't work.

      Hopefully not a dumb question--when freezing to bake later, do you freeze the dough in disc form, or do you roll it out and freeze it in the sheet?

        Hi Jade, I have made these delicious gingerbread cookies with The Woolworths "Free From Gluten Flour" & they worked out nicely. I did them in 2020 & 2021 for Christmas. I'm going to be making them again this year. Hope you can enjoy them too this year. 🎄😊

      Can you place the dough in the fridge overnight and use it the next day?

        Absolutely! Just allow it to soften slightly at room temp before rolling 🙂
