1 pack of (400 g) Honey gingerbread dough (refrigerator shelf; e.g. Aunt Fanny)
7-10 Tbsp Flour
150 g Sugar
7-10 Tbsp red and blue food colouring
1 fresh protein (Gr. M)
250 g Icing sugar
1-2 TEASPOONS Lemon juice
baking paper
7-10 Tbsp Figure cutter
7-10 Tbsp Freezer bag

Directions

1
Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line two baking trays with baking paper. Roll out the dough on a little flour to a thickness of approx. 5 mm and cut out approx. 9 women and 9 men each with cutters.
2
Knead the dough again, roll out again and cut out until the dough is used up. Place the figures on the trays with some distance between them. Brush thinly with water. Bake one after the other in a hot oven for about 8 minutes.
3
Cut out mini holes for ribbons at will from the still warm cookies with a small punched spout. Let them cool down.
4
For the colored sugar, put 75 g of sugar into each freezer bag. Colour with red or blue food colouring, adding a few drops of colour each time. Close the bags. Rub the sugar with the colour.
5
For the decoration, mix egg white, icing sugar and lemon juice to a smooth glaze. Pour into a freezer bag, cut off a small corner. Write names in the middle of the biscuits. Press the biscuits with the inscribed side immediately into the coloured sugar.
6
Carefully tap off excess sugar. Decorate the biscuits with the rest of the icing on the edge and with small curlicues, leave to dry. Keep in tin cans for about 2 weeks.
