Introduction
These cute little reindeers are made from gingerbread and the Girl Guides will have lots of fun decorating them for Christmas.

Instructions
• Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line a tray with baking paper and set aside.
• Beat butter and brown sugar together using an electric beater, stand mixer or food processor. Add egg yolk and golden syrup and mix until combined.
• Add flour, ginger, mixed spice and bicarbonate of soda and combine.
• Place onto a piece of baking paper and then cover with another piece of baking paper – using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until 5mm thick and cut out shapes.
• Re-roll as needed, but keep using the baking paper.
• Move the cut shapes over to greased baking trays with a spatula/egg flip and bake for 8-10 minutes.
• Once baked, let cool for 10 minutes on the tray and then transfer to cooling rack.
• Using the white writing icing, outline the ears, draw antlers, eyes and eyebrows. Using the black writing icing, dot the eyes and draw a mouth. Place a red M&M's MINIS on the nose.
