Gingerbread cookies



Do you know how to make gingerbread cookies? 
Today I would like to write about one of my favourites recipes. You can do those cookies even a few days before Christmas. They will be delicious and puffy immediately after baking!



What do you need to make gingerbread cookies?

  • 1 kg of all-purpose flour
  • 8 eggs (we will need 8 yolks and 3 whites of egg)
  • 1 – 1,5 glass (250 ml) of sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of cocoa
  • 200 ml of sour cream 18%
  • 3 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 4 teaspoons of spice mix for gingerbread
  • 250g of  butter
  • 400g of honey

Let’s start cooking!
Step 1. Mix the flour and cocoa together in the big bowl.
Step 2. Make boiling honey with spice for gingerbread, remove from the heat and then add butter. Mix all together and wait until the mixture will be cold enough.
Step 3. Beat egg whites until the mixer will be leaving tracks in the egg whites. Add sugar and  then yolks. Be careful- do it slowly, add one spoon, mix all together and add a second spoon- until all ingredients will be mixed together.
Step 4. Mix the sour cream and baking soda together.
Step 5. Take the bowl with flour and cocoa. Add the mixture of eggs and sugar and mix all together. After that, add the mixture of honey, spice and butter. Mix all one more time. When the last ingredient is inside a bowl ( cream with baking soda), mix the dough.
Step 6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate 24 hours.



Step 7. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Roll a dough out 4 mm thickness and cut out the shapes of cookies.


Step 8. Bake the cookies from 7 until 9 minutes.



Voila! The gingerbread cookies are ready!
