Ingredients
310 g
Butter
110 g
Cornstarch
40 g
Large chicken egg
2
Baking powder
1 package
Cinnabon, ginger
half of teaspoon
Liquid honey
90 g
Brown sugar
100 g
Egg white
2
Method of preparation
1
Start by taking cold butter and grate it using a coarse grater or cut it into cubes with a knife. Gingerbread cookies are made from shortcrust pastry, so it’s important that the ingredients are cold
2
In a bowl, combine the sifted flour, starch, and baking powder. Mix well
3
Beat the eggs with spices using a mixer at low speed. You can add ground cloves or nutmeg for extra flavor. Now gently add the honey and sugar
4
Combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture and butter. You should get a large crumbly texture. Pour it onto the table and knead it until you have an evenly dense dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour
5
Roll out the chilled dough on parchment paper to a thickness of no more than 5 mm. Shape the cookies and remove excess dough
6
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown
7
Prepare the icing. Beat the egg white with powdered sugar until you get a fluffy consistency. It usually thickens around the 4-5 minute mark, so it’s better to use a mixer. For added stability, you can add half a teaspoon of lemon juice
8
Once the gingerbread cookies have cooled, place them on a plate. If you don’t have a pastry bag, pour the icing into a plastic bag and make a small cut at the corner. Use it to draw your preferred designs on top of the cookies. You can also decorate the gingerbread with colored icing or frosting, just be careful not to overdo it so that the delicate, spicy aroma is preserved. Your gingerbread cookies are ready!
Invite your guests to the table, or tie the cookies with a red ribbon and give them as gifts to your loved ones along with a bag of fragrant tea. Enjoy your meal! With care for you, UE “Borisovskiy kombinat hleboproduktov”
