Instructions
  1. Put butter, sugar and baking powder in a medium bowl. Using electric beaters beat until well combined. Add oil, egg white, vanilla essence and zest. Beat until well combined.
  2. Add the flour in 2 batches, mixing well after each addition. Press dough into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.
  3. Preheat oven to 170c (fan-forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough until 5 mm thick. Using a 7.5 cm gingerbread man cutter, or cutter of choice, cut out 24 shapes, re-rolling scraps, as necessary. Arrange about 2.5 cm apart on the trays.
  4. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until firm and lightly golden. Set aside on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Decorate with icing and lollies, if desired.
