Let’s keep this one simple and straight to the point. Need a last minute kids birthday present and have no idea what to give?
A gingerbread biscuit bigger than their head, yes it’s true.
If you have school aged kiddos, other friends and class mates birthday parties come around quite frequently throughout the school year. But what to get little Hayden from down the street? What on earth would Chloe like? And did we already give Theo lego last year??
I tell you, gingerbread.
Guaranteed no one else is going to be giving that. Homemade, easy, kid friendly, and can be made ahead of time, (or in a last minute hasty rush as this one was). Most kids are quite happy on receiving a gingerbread the size of their head, (and if not, well, there’s usually a adult lurking to happily help them out.)
If you have time, decorate it beforehand, if not, decorate the outside. For this one I wrapped it in clear cellophane and glued a mouth on the outside.

A head-sized cookie! LOVE it. Excellent for adults too methinks – the perfect way to eat ‘just one cookie’ guilt-free.

I do love gingerbread. What a great little gift. I wish I’d been able to see the size of it – I do love cookies the size of a kid’s head xx

What a great idea! How long do you cook the giant ones for, and is it the same cooking temp as the normal size ones?

Maybe a fraction longer Beck, but not much. The thickness is similar, just bigger.
