Add in the honey, and mix for another couple of minutes till fully incorporated<\/strong>, <strong>add in the egg and mix again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mix all the dry ingredients together and make sure to sift the mixture.

The recipe calls for 180C but if you are aware that your\noven might be a little bit too high in temperature or low then you need to\nadjust.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With these cookies, I used the Gingerbread men stamp first then I cut the cookies. The instructions ask for the opposite, however, I find it strange cause pressing with the stamp could affect the size of your cookies.
