  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Combine the flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and all your spices in a mixing bowl, ensuring they're well mixed. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Add the egg white to your wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  2. Gradually fold your dry ingredients into the wet mixture, working it until it forms a firm dough. If the mixture seems too dry, add a tiny splash of water; if too wet, dust it with more flour. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  3. Roll out your dough between two sheets of baking parchment to about 5mm thickness. Use a gingerbread man cutter to cut out your shapes. If you don't have one, any festive cutter will do, or cut rounds with a small glass.
  4. Place your biscuits on a lined baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes until just firm at the edges but still slightly soft in the middle. They'll continue firming up as they cool. Leave them on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
