Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Put honey, sugar, gingerbread spice and fat in pieces in a pot. Heat while stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool down in the pot, then stir in the egg with the whisk of the hand mixer. Mix flour, baking powder and cocoa. Add half to the honey mixture and mix with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Knead in the remaining flour with your hands. Form dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for about 2 hours. In the meantime make templates for the bears, one approx. 15 cm high, the other approx. 10 cm high. Roll out the dough 3 - 4 mm thin on a floured work surface. Place templates on the dough, cut out 9 large and 12 small bears and 3 small bags. (Knead the dough in between and roll out again.) Place on 3-4 baking trays lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool down
