Steps:
- Heat the sugar, golden syrup and butter in a pan until melted. Mix the ginger and flour in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the bicarbonate of soda to the melted mixture and stir - it will fizz a little - then pour into the flour mixture with the egg. Stir to combine. The mix will be soft but will firm up as it cools.
- Scoop the mixture into a box or fridge bag and chill for at least 1 hr until firm enough to roll out. The dough can be kept in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for three months.
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut in half. Briefly knead the first piece, then roll it on a lightly floured surface to 2mm thick. Cut into shapes with snowflake or star cutters about 12cm across, then transfer to lined baking sheets, leaving a little room for them to spread. Cut a window out of each biscuit using another cutter about about 6cm across, then add a sweet to the centre.
- If the sweets are large, chop them up first - you'll have to judge by the size of the hole. (Don't be tempted to add too much or it will spill over the edge.) If you plan to hang the biscuits, make a small hole in the top of each one using the end of a piping nozzle (the hole will close up a little so make sure it's big enough). Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake in batches for 5-6 mins or until they darken slightly and the sweets have melted. If the holes have closed up, remake them while the biscuits are warm. Leave to cool and harden up completely before moving them. Don't forget to bake the parts you've cut out, too! You can decorate the biscuits further by using white piped icing, if you like.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease 2 large non-stick baking sheets with oil. Whizz the flour, ginger, zest and butter with 1⁄2 tsp salt to fine crumbs in a food processor. Pulse in the sugar and milk, then turn out and knead briefly on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap then chill for about 30 mins.
- Flour the work surface again, then roll out the dough to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use 7cm cutters to cut out shapes, then use 4cm cutters to cut out the middles. Re-roll leftover pieces. Make a hole in the top of each biscuit, then carefully lift onto the baking sheets.
- Crush the sweets in their wrappers with a rolling pin, then put the pieces into the middles of the biscuits - the sweets should be level with the top of the dough. Bake for 15-20 mins or until the biscuits are golden brown and the middles have melted.
- Leave to harden, then transfer to a rack to cool. Thread with ribbon, then dust with icing sugar. Will keep for a month, but best eaten within 3 days.

- Sift together the flour, baking powder, ginger and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the brown sugar. Make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg and golden syrup. Use a wooden spoon to combine the mixture well until a soft dough forms. Transfer to a clean bench top with a little flour and knead the dough well until smooth.
- Divide the dough into half and roll out the dough until about 1/2 centimetre thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out the desired shapes, and use mini cutters of the same shape to cut out the middle of the biscuits.
- Use a skewer to make a small hole in the top of the biscuit if you wish to hang it on the tree. Use an egg flipper to transfer the shapes to the baking paper. Crush the boiled lollies one at a time with a rolling pin, and carefully fill the small hole in the biscuit with the crushed lolly.

- Make the biscuit dough. Put the butter and both sugars in a food processor with the pinch of salt. Blitz until combined. Add the flour, baking powder and ground spices, then blitz again to form a dough.
- Remove the dough from the processor and shape it into a ball. Wrap it in cling film and chill it for 20 minutes. Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/Gas 4.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the chilled biscuit dough to 3mm thick. Stamp out stars using the 8cm cutter, then stamp out the centre of each star using the 6cm cutter.
- Place ½ teaspoon of crushed boiled sweets into the centre of each biscuit. Bake the biscuits for 7–8 minutes, until the sweets have melted and the biscuits are just golden.
- To decorate, beat together the icing sugar and egg white in a bowl until smooth. Spoon the icing into the piping bag. Use the icing to pipe around the star shape on the top of each biscuit, adding decorative dots at the point of each star.
