Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, beat together butter, castor sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
- Using a whisk, slowly add beaten egg, a little at a time.
- Sift together flour, baking powder , salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and mixed spice (if using) into another bowl.
- Carefully stir flour mixture into butter, sugar, and egg mixture.
- Roll out half the dough between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick. Slide rolled dough, paper and all, onto a large baking sheet. Repeat with the second half of the dough; slide it, paper and all, onto first sheet of dough. Place baking sheet in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- When you are ready to cook the biscuits, heat oven to 350 F and grease a baking sheet with butter.
- Cut dough with a cookie or gingerbread man cutter to the size you wish. We used a 3-inch round cutter, and it yielded about 4 dozen cookies.
- Gather scraps, reroll between sheets of paper and refrigerate again. Continue cutting and rerolling until all of the dough is used.
- In batches, place biscuits on baking sheets. Any rolled out dough or biscuits waiting to go into the oven should be kept cold in the fridge, or they will get too soft.
- Bake each batch for 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from oven. As biscuits will be soft at this point, carefully remove from baking sheet and leave to cool on a wire cooling tray. Once cool, the biscuits will harden and have the perfect snap.

CHEWY GINGER COOKIES

- Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Beat egg and molasses into creamed butter mixture. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until just coming together into a batter. Gently fold crystallized ginger through the batter.
- Roll rounded teaspoon-sized amounts of dough into small balls between your hands and place onto ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven until the tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to prevent the cookies from being tough.
- Fold in the grated ginger and chopped crystallized ginger. Be careful not to overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
