  2. Place the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, salt and sugar into the large bowl of your food processor. Pulse briefly to combine the dry ingredients.
  3. Add the butter and egg and pulse briefly, before processing continually, until the mixture starts to form a ball.
  4. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and bring together to form a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  5. Using the lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 5mm. Using cookie cutters, cut shapes and place on the baking trays. From leftover dough into a ball and re-roll and repeat, cutting out until all the dough has been used.
