Procedure

In a mixer pour the flour, the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves), ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, sugar, a pinch of salt, honey, the butter cut into cubes and blend well. Pour the mixture just obtained on a work surface and form a fountain inside which you will pour an egg. Incorporate the ingredients well and knead with your hands until you form a dough that you will cover with cling film.

Put the dough to harden in the fridge for half an hour. Then roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface, cut out with Christmas shapes (the classic gingerbread men) and pierce the cookies at the height of the head so that you can then hang them on the Christmas tree. Place the cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180° for about 15 minutes. Then let the cookies cool and in the meantime dedicate yourself to the preparation of the royal icing.

Whisk the egg white of an egg together with the powdered sugar. Transfer the mixture obtained in a sac-à-poche and decorate your men following their shape and embellishing them with the details you prefer. Your gingerbread cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Merry Christmas!
