Gingerbread Cookie Baking Mix 450g

Dr Oetker gingerbread cookie baking mix makes up to 50 fragrant gingerbread biscuits and includes decorating sugar for easy festive baking and sharing.

What Is Gingerbread Cookie Baking Mix?

This ready-to-use gingerbread cookie baking mix combines flour, cocoa, honey powder and warming spices into one dependable base for classic cut-out biscuits. Simply add butter or margarine, milk and egg yolks, then roll, cut and bake.

It is made for the kind of gingerbread baking that fills the kitchen with a comforting winter aroma: stars, hearts, gingerbread people, edible tree decorations and small biscuits for festive sharing. The included decorating sugar makes it easy to add a simple homemade finish.

Unlike a soft gingerbread loaf cake mix, this is a proper biscuit dough mix. Once baked, the biscuits are ideal for icing, gifting, putting out with tea or coffee, and enjoying throughout the festive season.

How to Make Gingerbread Cookies

With a 450g pack, a little baking preparation goes a long way. The mix makes approximately 50 biscuits, depending on the size of your cutters.

1. Combine the baking mix with 50g butter or margarine, 50ml milk and two egg yolks.
2. Bring the dough together, then roll it out on a lightly floured surface.
3. Cut into your chosen festive shapes and arrange on a lined baking tray.
4. Bake according to the pack instructions until fragrant and lightly coloured.
5. Use the included decorating sugar with egg white to finish once cooled.

A Simple Baking Tip

For clean-edged biscuits, chill the dough briefly if it becomes too soft while rolling. Let the biscuits cool completely before decorating so the icing stays neat and bright.

These gingerbread biscuits are lovely with tea, coffee or hot chocolate, and make a charming addition to a festive baking day. For a more elaborate finish, use them to make small edible decorations or a simple gingerbread house. For a house, roll the dough evenly, use sturdy templates and allow the baked pieces to cool fully before assembling.

The mix is already warmly spiced for gingerbread and mézeskalács-style biscuits. For drinks, icing or a recipe made from scratch, try our gingerbread spice mix.

Where Does It Come From?

Gingerbread is loved across Central Europe, and Hungary’s own mézeskalács tradition is known for honey-based dough, aromatic spices and beautifully decorated biscuits.

Dr Oetker has more than 130 years of baking expertise, and this seasonal mix makes those familiar festive flavours easy to recreate at home. It is produced in Hungary by Dr Oetker Kft.
