This timesaver makes delicious biscuits. Make the dough ahead, freeze and use when you need to bake gingerbread men at Christmas.

The dough is easy to work with when slightly defrosted and makes cutting easy. They can be made gluten and lactose free.

On the day of baking
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line two trays with baking paper.
Roll slightly defrosted, firm dough between two layers of baking paper until it is 4-5mm thick.
Cut gingerbread man shapes with a cookie cutter. Re-roll and cut dough until all used and place on the baking tray. Leave room for the biscuits to spread.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire racks.

To make the royal icing, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gradually add the icing sugar and beat until combined and shiny.
Making the royal icing
Royal icing is glossy and will set hard over time

Divide the icing into separate bowls. Keep one bowl white and add food colouring of choice to the other bowls. Use a piping bag / ziplock bag with a small hole in the corner and decorate the gingerbread.
Serve.

Note: The total amount of time taken for the icing to set depends on the weather. Very warm or humid climates take longer.
