Cooking

In the New year always hunting to surprise their family and friends, offer to cook ginger cookies "jingle Bells". And if we add the wish and wrapped in transparent gift paper, you get a real Christmas gift.

So, let's start. In the evening make dough: On low heat melt the butter with honey (weight should not boil), add soda (soda quenching is not necessary, it will repay the honey). Add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg.

Proseem the flour and mix with sugar, pinch of salt and egg.

Combine flour and honey and oil mixture. Knead the dough and put in the fridge overnight, for 6-8 hours.

If you don't have forms for cutting out the biscuits, then make cardboard templates of the 6 circles with a diameter of 8.5 -7 -6 -5 -3.5 -2.5 cm, and the pattern carved leaf length 8 cm. Roll out the pastry 3-4 mm thick and cut out details in the middle of a thick pen cut a hole.

Bake at 180* (in a pre-heated oven) for 7-10 minutes, until a nice brown color. While cookies are cooling, prepare the icing for decoration. Will beat into a soft mousse 1 egg white with 100g of sugar or powdered sugar until hard peaks and add pre-diluted in a teaspoon of boiling water citric acid, which can be replaced simply with lemon juice.

Of this amount, the test turned out 6 "Bells." Decorate cookies with icing. Leave for a few hours to dry.

Collect "jingle Bells" on the gift band (70 cm, but can be longer for a more elegant bow) and tied with a bow. To set the mood and add to each "Bell" ribbon with a wish for your loved ones and friends.

Such cookies can be decorated and the Christmas tree. Happy New year! I wish You all well!
