Welcome to No.1's cooking lesson. Step 1, If you look above you will see the recipe for our awesome ginger bread men. So sorry if you can't read it-not my writing, must be Mummy's!!!! Step 2, Now get your bowls and whisks out and cream the sugar and flour together.
I had to clean up before I could roll the dough out! I used so many dishes so it took forever. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little but it seemed like forever. I got so floury that the washing will take ages to do. I had to scrub the sugar from the measuring cup as all of the sugar was stuck to the bottom!
Finally I could do the dough needing. It was rather hard and it kept on crumbling and falling apart. I put more flour down but that didn't help at all, all the flour did was making it worse. What did we do wrong? Did I forget to put something in, no. Do you know? It's in the recipe.
I reread the recipe and it said to put it in the fridge for half an hour. I did that and while I was waiting I was getting out the cutters and rolling pin. After that I was just jumping around and not being helpful.
When half an hour had passed I opened the fridge and took it out. It took absolutely ages to roll out. I had to keep on starting again because I did it too thin.

It was so fun when I got to cut the shapes out. Mummy had to take the cut shapes off the bench because I kept ripping the heads off the men. My little sisters wanted to help me but I'm glad I said no.
Look at the finished product! I couldn't wait to eat them but they were boiling hot. I had a little accident when I was taking them over to the bench and I accidentally dropped one.

You girls are great bloggers, great cookies and glad they have their heads! Rachael:)
Thanks for the recipe! My boys will want to have a go at this. We have a dog and she waits under my table for little 'accidents' like you had - she can sometimes swallow a biscuit in one gulp before it even touches the floor! I have to be very careful...
(PS she is not allowed in the kitchen - it's just that I put my biscuits to cool on the table just outside the kitchen door).
I love to see children learning to bake and cook. Its lovely to see! Suzie. x
Sitting here having my morning tea visiting blogs. A cookie sure would be delicious right now!
Excellent baking lesson. Thats another one I have to try with my granddaughter now. Neat icing, too.
