Recipe by Susie Burrell

Makes: 15-25

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ⅓  cup Mayver’s Skin On Peanut Butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp bicarb soda
  • 2 cups plain flour, sifted

Method

  1. Place butter and peanut butter in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well with an electric beater until light and fluffy. Add sugar, egg and vanilla and pulse until well combined.
  2. Stir in spices and flours. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to rest.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C (fan forced) and line three baking trays with baking paper.
  4. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out dough on a large sheet of baking paper until 4-5mm thick. Cut out gingerbread men with your desired cutter and place onto lined baking trays. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden.

RECIPE TIP: If you’re looking for an alternative to brown sugar, try honey or rice malt syrup.

As bushfires, floods and storms become part of childhood for more Australian families, Sesame Street is stepping in to help.

Sesame Workshop has launched a major new Extreme Weather initiative, headlined by a new Storm on Sesame Street special, designed to help young children prepare for, cope with and recover from severe weather events.

In the special, Elmo and his friends work together to get ready for a big storm, learning how to be prepared, have courage, and calm their bodies and minds when things feel scary. After the storm passes, Sesame Street looks different, and everyone pitches in to help their neighbours rebuild their homes. With the help of the neighbourhood, including celebrity guests Post Malone and comedian Michelle Buteau, Elmo and Abby discover that small acts of kindness, and support from friends, can make the biggest difference of all.
