How to choose the right ingredients

I will tell you a recipe for gingerbread with a traditional composition of ingredients, but if you wish, some of them can be replaced or excluded.

The main component, of course, is ginger root, as well as cinnamon - an important part of the dough for fragrant gingerbread. And powdered sugar is used when creating icing for gingerbread cookies so that it turns out to be more homogeneous, without sugar crystals that later crunch on the teeth.

Step by step cooking

  1. We combine the butter with sugar and egg, bring to a homogeneous consistency with a mixer or whisk.

  2. We rub the zest of the washed orange or lemon, add to the dough along with ginger, mix.

  3. Add honey and vanilla extract to the mixture.

  4. In a separate container, mix flour, cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and baking powder.

  5. We combine the dry mixture with the liquid, make the dough homogeneous and knead, adding flour if necessary.

  6. The dough should not stick to your hands.

  7. We wrap the dough with cling film or polyethylene and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

  8. After the specified time, we take out the dough, unpack it, divide it in half and begin to roll out each part.

  9. Cut out the cookies of the desired shape and size.

  10. We spread the gingerbread cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and send for 7-10 minutes in a preheated to 180 ºС.

  11. Prepare the icing: add the protein to the icing sugar and beat until a homogeneous white mass, if necessary, adjust to the desired density by adding the icing sugar.

  12. We fill the icing in the confectionery sleeve and draw up the desired painting on the gingerbread.

How to decorate and serve

As a rule, gingerbread cookies are decorated with icing.. With it, you can draw a picture on top of the gingerbread or fill the entire surface of the gingerbread with it, you can also tint the icing with food powder or so-called natural dyes that you can have in your refrigerator.

When decorating gingerbread, a special multi-colored powder is used, like the one that is sprinkled on Easter cakes, as well as coconut flakes, powdered sugar and chocolate. Also a commonly used option for decoration is mastic.

Gingerbread cookies will be a great snack for your favorite hot drink on a cold winter evening! And if you want to decorate a Christmas tree with them, then make holes in the cookies for the garters in advance, still on the raw cookies.

  • Don't Overdo the Ginger otherwise the dough may be very bitter.
  • The thicker the rolled out dough for the gingerbread, the better the shape of the finished product will be.
  • The readiness of gingerbread can be determined by a slightly darkened rim– After 5 minutes, you can take it out of the oven.
  • If the surface of the gingerbread is not as smooth as you would like, carefully cut it off with a sharp knife while the gingerbread is still warm enough.
  • It's easy to make colored icing without dyes! Just 1-2 drops of orange juice will give it a yellow color, beets - red, parsley - green, turmeric - orange, and raspberry jam - pink.
  • If you want to add some other decoration to the gingerbread besides the icing, then do it with a rhinestone until the icing is frozen.

The composition of the ingredients for gingerbread dough can be somewhat simplified by not adding citrus zest, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom to it. And vice versa, you can add almonds, marmalade or a couple of three tablespoons of cognac or another delicious alcoholic drink, which can also serve as a baking powder. You can also add a little anise, star anise or even coriander to the composition of such gingerbread.
