Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Put honey, fat and sugar in a pot and heat while stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool down a little bit. Mix gingerbread spice, flour, almonds and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add the honey-fat mixture and the egg and work well with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Knead quickly with your hands to a smooth dough. Cover and let rest for about 2 hours. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of approx. 0.5 cm and cut out little bears (approx. 10 cm in size).

2. 2

   Place on two baking trays lined with baking paper and bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric range: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for 12-15 minutes. Let them cool down on a cake rack. Sift icing sugar and stir into 4 tablespoons of water until smooth. Pour a small amount of the mixture into a small bowl and colour with a little food colouring (be careful, it colours very strongly!). Decorate the little bears with icing and writing and sprinkle them with sugar pearls, chocolate and sugar sprinkles. Let it dry. Keep in tightly closed tins
