Latvian gingerbread cookies for christmas

  • Chop and mix all spices.
  • Choose a dish in which you will melt the sugar and knead the dough (I have a saucepan).
  • Turn on the heat and add half the sugar to the pot.
  • Melting sugar until brown, do it very carefully.
  • Quickly pour in half a cup of hot water and stir in the caramel.
  • Add the remaining sugar and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Turn off heating.
  • Add butter and honey, all seasonings and mix.
  • Add a third of flour and mix.
  • Let the dough cool.
  • Add a third of a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of baking soda.
  • Beat the first egg, and add the second egg, separating half of the protein in another bowl for further icing.
  • Stir the eggs and stir into the cooled dough.
  • Add a tablespoon of cocoa for color.
  • Add the remaining flour and let the dough cool.
  • Place the dough on a floured table.
  • Cut the dough in half and wrap in foil.
  • Put in the refrigerator for at least a day. It can be kept longer, up to several months.
  • After a day or more, you can roll out cookies of any thickness to your taste.
  • From experience I can say that thin biscuits are always tastier.
Thin liver needs about seven minutes in the oven at 180-200 ° C degrees, thicker more.
  • Sprinkle flour when rolling out the dough so that it does not stick to your hands and table.
  • Give the liver any shape, for example, you can use special curly cuttings.

Send to the oven until tender.

The cookie is ready!

Traditionally, it is covered with a protein glaze.
