DIRECTIONS

In a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together for 2-3 mins.
Add the eggs and powdered ginger and continue beating. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, lowering the speed.
Divide the dough into 2 parts and roll out into 2 sheets about 1 cm thick. Lay each sheet of dough on non-stick parchment paper, cover and refrigerate for 1 hr.
Preheat oven to 175°C. Cover an oven pan with baking paper.
Cut the dough with Christmas cookie cutters and arrange the pieces on the oven pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the biscuits begin to brown (do not over-bake!).
When completely cooled, mix the powdered sugar with water and decorate the biscuits with a pastry bag.
Allow to dry and serve.
