Leave for 1 hour in the fridge or 4 hours at room temperature to cool to a workable (rollable) temperature.

Roll out mixture and cut out shapes with cutters.

Bake at 180C/325F/Gas 4 for 15-20 minutes.

NB the nutrition information is for 50 biscuits, you may have more or less depending on the size/shape of your cutter. I have made a gingerbread house with 4 small men, trees and canes from this mixture.
