On the eve of the New Year, I want to surprise my loved ones, especially children, with something unusual and tasty. Try to make these delicious gingerbread cookies - a real symbol of the New Year. The cookies will delight you not only with their wonderful taste, but also with their unusual appearance.
It is necessary
- - 100 g of butter;
- - 100 g of sugar (it is better to take brown);
- - 100 g of honey;
- - 2 eggs;
- - 1 tsp ground ginger;
- - 1 tsp ground cinnamon;
- - 2 tsp baking powder;
- - 350-400 g flour
Instructions
Step 1
Mash butter with sugar. Add honey and stir. Beat the eggs into the mixture and mix again. Then add ground ginger and cinnamon, stir again. Finally, add the cooked baking powder. Now you can start kneading the dough.
Step 2
When the dough is ready, roll it out. Soft biscuits can be made from a thicker layer of dough, while crispy biscuits can be made from a thinner layer.
Step 3
Use cookie cutters, cut out future cookies. In the absence of the necessary mold, you can use various children's molds, or even make a stencil out of tracing paper or paper. With the stencil on the rolled dough, cut out a cookie shape.
Step 4
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. In order to maintain the shape of the cookie, you can immediately roll out the dough on baking paper. Then it will be much easier to transfer the entire baking sheet to a baking sheet than each cookie individually. If there is no such paper, you can grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the cookie cutter and the thickness of the cookie. Decorate the finished cookies based on your imagination. You can use baking powder or pencils, or cover with a delicious icing.
