Directions
In a large bowl, using an electric beater, mix the butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, the treacle and mix. Add the remaining ingredients, sifting the dry ones to remove lumps, and combine into a dough.
Divide the dough into 4 portions, wrap each in cling wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Knead the chilled dough on a floured surface until workable, then roll to 5mm thick. Cut out gingerbread cookies, place on a lined tray, and bake for 10–15 minutes or until browned. Cool on a wire rack.
Mix the egg white, sifted icing sugar, and lemon juice until combined. Using a piping bag, add eyes, mouth and other decorations. Stick Mrs Rogers stars and hearts on using the icing. Leave to dry and store in an airtight container.
