It is really important that you don't over mix here
Spoon the dough onto a lightly floured surface and bring together with your hands
Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes
Once the dough is rested preheat the oven to 180°c
Remove the dough from the fridge and place between two pieces of baking paper and roll out to about 1cm thick
Using a gingerbread man shaped cookie cutter (or whatever cutter you have to hand) cut the rolled out dough into shapes
Place the cookies onto a baking tray lined with baking paper
Cover and chill for another 15 minutes in the fridge before baking
Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown
Remove from oven, and allow to partially cool on the tray before allowing to cool completely on a wire wrack
Dip half the gingerbread man in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with chopped nuts
Allow to set before store in an airtight container
These cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to a week
