Gingerbread Cookies
The perfect gingerbread cookies recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 250 g Butter
- 300 g Honey
- 250 g Sugar
- 2 tbsp Ginger bread spice
- 0,5 tsp Cinnamon
- 3 tbsp Cocoa
- 2 Eggs
- 700 g Wheat flour
- 1 packet Baking powder
- Salt, lemon
- First, the butter, honey, sugar, salt and a little lemon zest are warmed and melted in a saucepan over a gentle heat. Next, the spices are mixed and stirred into the mass. When the mass has cooled down a bit, the eggs are incorporated. Caution: if the mixture is too warm, the eggs will freeze and you will have the so-called egg flake soup in the batter. It is best if you hold your finger in and the mass is only warm, not hot. Now flour and baking powder are worked in and the dough is kneaded until smooth. Covered, the dough now wants to rest for one night, preferably in a cold place. So the Armonem can develop really nicely.

Before you roll out the dough, put it at room temperature for one to two hours and then knead it again thoroughly until it is nice and smooth. Now please roll out the dough like normal cookie dough with flour, 2-3 mm thick. Dust the work surface and the dough lightly with flour, roll out and turn the dough over and over again. Also turn around in between and dust with a little flour again and again. Be more economical with the flour, otherwise the biscuits will be too dry. The biscuits are now cut out and the dough rolled out and cut out until everything is gone. Of course, you can always bake one tray at a time. at 170 degrees, top and bottom heat 🙂 the biscuits take between 7 and 12 minutes, depending on their thickness. Caution: When you take out the cookies, they are still a little soft, don't be surprised.

When the cookies have cooled down, you can design them according to your mood and shape, with chocolate, colorful sprinkles, brittle, nuts and whatever you like. Your creativity knows no bounds. Well packaged, the biscuits will last forever. How long, I can't say for sure, at home they are always the first to go. If you don't want strong sweet or spicy biscuits, you can simply reduce sugar, honey or use fewer spices. Packed in small transparent bags, they are also ideal as a small gift.
