10 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 15/16 cup ground almonds
  • 3 teaspoons gingerbread spice blend
  • 7 15/16 tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • 11/16 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 7 tablespoons butter soft, cut into pieces
  • 1 egg
  • 7 1/16 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/4 cups icing sugar
  • 1 egg white

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. 2
    If you have a food processor, place all the ingredients in the bowl with the hook, and mix until obtaining a ball.
  3. 3
    Otherwise, mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, almonds, spices, sugar and baking powder. Make a well and gradually stir in the pieces of butter, then the egg and finally the honey. Mix until obtaining a ball: the dough will be a little bit sticky.
  4. 4
    Roll out the dough on a floured counter.
  5. 5
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using cookie cutters, cut out biscuits and place them on the baking sheet.
  6. 6
    Bake for about 8-10 minutes.
  7. 7
    Wait until the gingerbread men are cool to handle without breaking them.
  8. 8
    Mix the icing sugar with the egg white (and possibly food colouring if you have any) and put the mixture into a piping bag.
  9. 9
    Decorate according to your mood!

    Supermarkets sell ready-made pens for decorating cakes in the baking aisle (where the baking powder, vanilla sugar etc. are stocked).
