Sweetie, isn't it?

For test:

  • 1.25 kg flour
  • 500 g dark honey or herbs
  • 360 g butter ( fat content 82.5%)
  • 250 g brown sugar
  • 50 g peeled ginger root
  • 50 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 yolks
  • 1 orange ( peel)
  • 1 lemon ( peel)
  • 3 art. l. Roma
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1-2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp anise seed
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For glaze:

Prepare the dough. Put honey, sugar and butter in a separate container. Put on water bath and heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. The mixture should not boil.

When the sugar dissolves, add all the spices, cocoa powder, orange and lemon peel. Stir and remove the container from the water bath, let the mixture cool down to a temperature not lower than +68°C.

Sift flour, baking powder and salt into another bowl. When the mixture has cooled down a bit, add some of the flour and knead the dough thoroughly. Cool a little again, and then add the yolks, rum and knead the dough well with your hands.

Add the rest of the flour into the dough gradually. No need to strive to mix in all the flour. The dough should be dense and elastic. It will be slightly sticky. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.

Preheat oven to 220-240°C. Line a large rectangular baking sheet with baking paper.
Roll out the dough into a layer 3-5 mm thick on a work table sprinkled with flour, ( or opposite). Cut out shapes from the dough using cookie cutters. Transfer the figurines to a baking sheet.

Cookies can be cut out in another way: roll out the dough on a baking sheet, cut out figures, and then remove excess dough from the baking sheet. Thus, the cut cookie will not be distorted.

Bake cookies in preheated oven for 7-9 minutes. Be careful not to overdo it. Gingerbread Cookie (like gingerbread) does not become dense and crispy during baking. If the cookies have risen slightly and browned around the edges, they are ready.

Take the tray out of the oven. Let the cookie cool, then remove it and spread it out in a single layer on a flat surface so it doesn't warp.
If the finished cookies run a little around the edges during baking, cut off the bumps with a knife while the cookies are warm.

Cookies are best baked a day before decorating: ready-made cookies can be wrapped in parchment or cling film.

For the frosting, in a clean bowl, whisk the egg white and lemon juice, gradually add the sifted icing sugar and fold in. The icing is ready when the protein mass hangs from the whisk, but does not flow. Do not beat the protein too intensively: the icing will be saturated with air and will bubble.

How to decorate cookies with icing - a master class

To decorate Easter cookies art cook Tatyana Khromushina I decided to use two contour technologies - openwork decor and drawing with liquid glaze. Therefore, we apply on the cookies along the contour for each pattern.

  • Glaze of a thick consistency for the contour ( consistency like the contour of children's stained glass paints).
  • Glaze of not very thick consistency for internal filling of the contour.

To work with icing, you first need a bag, and a rather rigid one. It can be made from a polyethylene file. Any clean tubes that are comfortable and suitable in diameter will also work. The correct opening diameter of the bag is about 1.5 mm. It is convenient to close the bag with a clerical clip. If you are using a tube, cut off the end, rinse thoroughly and close with a clip. Glaze should be stored in the most airtight containers, otherwise it will dry out quickly.

1.

2. When the contour is completely dry, proceed to the openwork painting. With the same thick glaze, draw even, strictly parallel lines of the same thickness. The distance between the lines should be approximately equal to their thickness. This is the bottom layer of the openwork mesh.

3. When the icing seized ( if it is the right consistency, it will take about 10 minutes), draw the top layer of the openwork mesh. The thickness of the lines and the distance between them should not differ from the bottom layer.

4. Let the glaze mesh dry. Now fill the desired cells with droplets of thick glaze, following the selected pattern ( you can take any pattern of textile lace).

5. Decorate the pattern with lace fringe: on the edge between each two points of glaze, place another one in a checkerboard pattern. If there is room left, the fringe can be made longer.

6. Another version of the fringe is made from drops of glaze, carefully pulled down with a wooden toothpick.

Drawing on liquid glaze (finift)

1. Outline with thick glaze. The contour line should be even and uniform in thickness.

2. Dilute the thick glaze to the desired consistency with lemon juice. The frosting should drip, but not run. If the glaze is diluted too much, it will not dry well, and when dry it will become transparent. Therefore, to give the glaze-filling the desired consistency, lemon juice add one drop at a time to it, stirring constantly.

3. Apply the diluted icing-fill inside the dried contour.

4. Drip the icing for the design on the background in the right places. Its consistency should not be as thick as the outline, but thicker than the background fill. Draw lines with a toothpick to create a pattern.

5. Draw a “frill” along the edge of the outline with thick glaze: it will complete the drawing and hide the bumps.

Aising is a sugar-protein mass with which you can draw anything you like.

For glaze: 1 egg white, 6 tbsp. l. powdered sugar, 2 tbsp. l. lemon juice food colorings.

Beat 1 protein with sifted powdered sugar. More powder may be needed (depending on the size of the egg). At the end of whipping, add lemon juice or citric acid on the tip of a knife. The mass should be smooth and elastic: not liquid and not too thick. Beat on low speed first, then on high speed for a couple of minutes.

The glaze dries very quickly, so immediately after preparation, cover it with a film.

Divide the glaze between bowls and tint with food coloring.

Icing is applied using a paper cone or a confectionery syringe.

First make a contour (the icing should be thicker so that the line does not spread). Give the contour half an hour to dry. Then cover the rest of the planes with a more liquid icing (dilute the composition with warm water). We check the consistency. Take a knife and draw a line in the middle of the finished icing, count out loud to three. On the count of three, the separated parts of the glaze should close together. The consistency is right! So that there are no bubbles on the finished product and the icing spreads evenly, you need to let the icing stand, knock lightly so that the air bubbles rise up.

Properly prepared glaze hardens quickly and does not stick to your hands. The shelf life of the finished icing in tightly lid closed container - 4 days. Definitely in the fridge! Before work, the glaze must be mixed well and do not forget to cover it with a wet towel or film during work: the composition dries VERY quickly.

Since raw protein is used to make the glaze, eggs must be THOROUGHLY washed with soap or dry protein should be used. This will protect against salmonellosis and other "chicken sores".

To bake cookies you will need:
3 eggs (c1)
240 grams of butter (well, it happened)))
glass of sugar
2 cups of flour
vanilla pinch
Cocoa - a tablespoon with a mountain.
A teaspoon with a slide of baking powder for dough.

How to make delicious cookie dough:
Beat eggs with sugar with a mixer.

Add room temperature butter. Beforehand, the butter can be cut into cubes.


Beat until smooth.


Pour the flour immediately, on top of the slide a teaspoon of baking powder.
Add a little vanilla, at the tip of a knife or a little more.

Mix thoroughly, first with a spoon, then with your hand.
The dough will crumble, but when you start to interfere with your hand, it will seem that it is too soft.

Separate half and mix with cocoa by hand (the simplest cheap one will do).

Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for an hour or, if you are in a hurry, in the freezer for 10 minutes.


Take out in turn, roll out. I rolled out on a plastic board without flour. I rolled out the packaging of cling film, since the dough does not stick to it. If it becomes very sticky when cutting with molds, put the rolled dough in the freezer for 5 minutes. It turned out about half a centimeter layer, you can make it thicker.

Cut out with cookie cutters and use a sharp knife to lift off the board and transfer to a baking sheet.

How to bake cookies for painting:

I baked on baking paper, did not grease anything.

Place in preheated oven at 180 degrees. It baked quickly, 20 minutes, maybe 25, the bottom of the cookies remained almost the same color as the top. To check the readiness, I just broke one cookie and saw that it was not raw inside.

Also with brown cookies. Spread on the same paper, nothing stuck. The cookies are very tasty, amazingly fragrant, not hard, and it is convenient to paint them with icing.

How to make icing I wrote in the gingerbread recipe. To be honest, this time I just added powdered sugar to the protein from one egg. I also sprinkled food coloring there (I had dry Parfait dyes in a set, they are sold in supermarkets). Attention, you will use dyes, do not take them for eggs, firstly, they may not be suitable for ingestion, and secondly, they may be salty!

The powder must be sifted. Mixed with a fork, added a teaspoon of water, kneaded thoroughly.

And also for the first time I tried to make egg-free frosting!
She poured a little water and added powdered sugar to the eye, kneaded. In the photo you can see pink icing - it looks more marmalade, slightly transparent. I even liked it better than the traditional frosting!
