Ingredients
-
300 grams
all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon
baking soda
-
2 tablespoons
gingerbread spices
-
1 teaspoon
cacao powder
-
200 grams
butter (room temperature)
-
100 grams
sugar
-
100 grams
honey
-
1
egg (free range)
Directions
-
Combine flour and baking soda, add gingerbread spices and cacao powder. Mix well.
-
Cut room-temperature butter into small chunks and place in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and honey and mix with a mixer until well-combined and fluffy. Mix in an egg and combine well.
-
Preheat oven to 170°C / 340°F.
-
After 30 minutes take dough out of the fridge and roll out to about 0.5 cm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired cookie shapes (I used a 10 cm gingerbread girl cookie cutter). Place cookies onto a baking tray covered with baking paper. Repeat until you've used up all your cookie dough.
-
Place baking tray in preheated oven and bake at 170°C / 340°F for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown. Remove from oven and place cookies on a cooling rack to cool.
-
When the cookies are cooled down, decorate with sugar icing.
