New Year is not only pleasant chores for buying gifts and preparing a festive table, but also a lot of money spent on the implementation of the plan. And, perhaps, every housewife, in anticipation of the New Year, is at a crossroads to cook a new one with minimal costs.
It is necessary
- For the cookie dough, take:
- - cocoa powder - 3 tbsp. l;
- - soda (slaked with vinegar) - 0.5 tsp;
- - one egg;
- - granulated sugar - 150 g;
- - margarine (butter) - 200 g;
- - flour - 350 g.
- For the manufacture of protein glaze:
- - large egg - 1 pc. (egg white);
- - granulated sugar - 100-110 g.
Instructions
Step 1
Pour granulated sugar into a bowl and put margarine (or butter) there. We rub everything white with a fork.
Step 2
Add cocoa to the resulting mixture of eggs and sugar and mix again.
Step 3
Add the broken egg to the bowl and mix.
Step 4
We extinguish the soda with table vinegar (9%) and add to a bowl. We mix.
Step 5
Add flour and knead the dough.
Step 6
Roll out the resulting dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 5–7 cm.
Step 7
Using a glass, cookie cutters or a knife, we cut out the figures.
Step 8
We spread the resulting figures on a baking sheet. And in an oven preheated to 200 degrees, we bake the blanks for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to cool the cookies before icing.
Step 9
We glaze it with the obtained whipped protein with sugar (the cheapest and easiest option). In the design, it is possible to use confectionery powder and confectionery pencil.
Step 10
Let's start making the egg white frosting
Beat the egg carefully and separate the yolk from the protein. Transfer the egg whites to the icing bowl and cool it down.
Step 11
Beat the protein with a mixer or whisk until a stable foam is obtained.
Step 12
Add a little granulated sugar (about 2 tsp) to the whipped consistency. And beat again. Both in a mixer and when using a whisk, the beating continues until the sugar completely dissolves.
