Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Put honey, 100 g sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a pot. Heat everything while stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool down for about 10 minutes. Separate 2 eggs. Mix 1 egg, 2 egg yolks and 30 g sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer until creamy. Stir in the honey mixture. Mix flour, cocoa, gingerbread spice and baking powder, sieve onto the dough. Knead first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with lightly floured hands to a smooth dough.

   Cover and chill for about 20 minutes. Grease baking tray and dust with flour. Roll out the dough as evenly as possible. Bake in the preheated oven (electric range: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 15-20 minutes. Cut the hot dough sheet to 30 x 32 cm. Cut 12 rectangles (each 8 x 10 cm) from the plate. Use 3 cookie cutters (e.g. heart, bell, star; approx. 4 cm Ø) to cut cookies in the middle from 4 dough plates each. Let everything cool down. Mix 2 egg whites and icing sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer to a smooth glaze. Pour into a disposable piping bag. Cut off the tip. Cut the gelatine with a pair of scissors once across. Spray some icing on the back of the rectangles around the cut-out motifs. Place the gelatine on top and press on a little.
