  3. Add egg
  4. Add (A) into the butter mixture and knead 2 minutes
  5. Take out and shape into a flat dough
  6. Cling wrap the dough / put the dough in a zipper bag and refrigerate for 1 hour/overnight
  7. Take out and put dough in between 2 pieces of greaseproof paper and roll into desired thickness
  8. Cut into gingerbread man shape and transfer onto baking tray
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly brown
