The perfect small chocolate gingerbread buttons recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.

for the glaze

  • 125 g Butter
  • 150 g Sugar
  • 3 tablespoon Rum
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 3 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon Bio lemon zest
  • 250 g Rye flour
  • 250 g Wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoon Baking soda
  • 2 tablespoon Ginger bread spice
  • 2 tablespoon Vanilla sugar brown
  • 100 g Dark couverture
  1. Let the honey and butter melt gently in the saucepan – add the sugar and rum, stir well – stir the eggs into the lukewarm mixture – add lemon juice and lemon zest
  2. Mix both types of flour, baking soda, gingerbread spice and vanilla sugar in a large bowl and add this mixture to the honey mixture – the result is a viscous mixture that is covered and left to stand overnight in a cool place
  3. On the next day, balls the size of a cherry are rolled out of the mixture and placed on wafers – bake the gingerbread in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for about 12 minutes – then leave to cool

Chocolate icing

  1. For the chocolate glaze, the couverture is gently heated in a water bath until it is well liquid – then the gingerbread is pierced at an angle from below with a skewer fork and dipped into the hot couverture
