Method
1.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Beat in treacle. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
2.Sift flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon and allspice together. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture, beating on low speed until mixture comes together.
3.Shape into a flat disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes.
4.Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C. Line 4 oven trays with baking paper.
5.Roll out dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Cut out using 6cm Christmas-shaped pastry cutters; arrange on trays 2cm apart. Re-roll any offcuts and cut out shapes until you have used all the dough.
6.Bake shapes 12-15 minutes. Cool on trays 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7.Decorate with royal icing and silver cachous.
For royal icing, gradually add 1 1/2 cups sifted icing sugar into 1 egg white, whisking until smooth. Transfer to piping bag and decorate biscuits as desired. Allow to set at room temperature.
