We’ve been taking inspiration from those cute little Trolls recently. We’ve seen the trailer for the new Trolls film a few times and enjoyed playing with the new Poppy Style Station which we recently reviewed. I thought it would be fun to bake and decorate Trolls gingerbread biscuits so found a cookie cutter online and got everything ready.

Decorated Trolls gingerbread biscuits

You can probably guess that I made a batch of my favourite gingerbread dough (using this gingerbread recipe here). They spread a little whilst baking as I hadn’t chilled it for long enough, but they were still recognisable – I think.

The thing about Trolls has to be their crazy hair. My daughter has started collecting the little collectable Trolls blind bags with her pocket money and she loves discovering what kind of crazy coloured hair they have. We knew we would have to carry on this theme with our decorated Trolls gingerbread biscuits. So I found every colour of icing pen I could lay my hands on. There may have been some sprinkles lurking at the back of the cupboard, so out they came too.

Then I set my children up with their biscuits on some baking parchment, the gingerbread Trolls, icing pens and sprinkles. They had a blast.

I pretty much left them to it as I knew the worst that would happen was they ate all the icing. They each had 6 biscuits to decorate. My 6 year old enjoyed making patterns whist my 4 year old made a bit of a sparkly mess.

Despite, or perhaps because of the icing, they enjoyed eating the biscuits too. My 6 year old calls them his Poppy Troll biscuits, I just make sure he brushes his teeth after each one!
