Tips for Making Gingerbread in a Thermomix:
- If you use a traditional gingerbread cutter this recipe will make around 20 gingerbread biscuits.
- If you use a different shaped biscuit cutter the cooking time will vary.
- 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.
- 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.

Viv says
Can I replace the butter with nuttelex to cater for dairy allergies?
Lucy says
I haven't tried that sorry!
Kristy says
Would this work with nuttelex at all? My little man wants to make some but is LF.
Lauren Matheson says
I haven't tried it with Nuttlex before but don't see why it wouldn't work.
Jed says
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?
Lauren Matheson says
I usually freeze it as a disc 🙂
Jade says
Would this work okay will gluten free flour?
Lucy says
Hi Jade, I haven't tried that sorry! But I'll leave your comment here in case someone can help!
Claire says
Works perfectly with well and good gluten free flour
Alison says
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. 🎄😊
Donna says
Can you place the dough in the fridge overnight and use it the next day?
Lucy says
Absolutely! Just allow it to soften slightly at room temp before rolling 🙂
