Classic Gingerbread Cookies: Step-by-Step Recipe from TSN.

According to ТСН: Gingerbread cookies are an aroma that quickly immerses you in the festive atmosphere. The warm scent of spices, crunchy crust, and tender inside create a sense of coziness and home comfort.

We offer you a simple recipe for classic gingerbread cookies.

Ingredients:

• 100 g of butter

• 100 g of honey

• 100 g of sugar

• 1 egg

• 350-370 g of flour

• 1 tsp of baking soda

• 0.5 tsp of ground ginger

• 0.5 tsp of cinnamon

• 0.5 tsp of nutmeg

• pinch of salt

Preparation

1. In a saucepan, mix the butter, honey, sugar, salt, and spices. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until all ingredients melt. When the mixture is homogeneous, remove it from the heat and add the baking soda.

2. Let the mixture cool slightly. Then add the egg and mix well with a whisk. It is important that the mixture is not hot; otherwise, the egg may curdle.

3. When all the liquid ingredients are combined, start adding the flour in parts. Knead the dough, which should resemble plasticine.

4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight.

5. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C for 7 minutes on the 'top-bottom' mode.

Let us remind you that earlier we shared the recipe for traditional Ukrainian gingerbread “Mykolaityks,” which were prepared on St. Nicholas Day.
