Homemade soft gingerbread with kefir with glaze

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade gingerbread cookies with kefir and glaze? Prepare gingerbread dough. How to make the dough? Take 2 eggs. Divide one egg into white and yolk. Remove the white; you will need it for making the glaze. Place the yolk in a large bowl. Break one whole egg there. Now add honey, add granulated sugar. Beat until smooth.

2. STEP 2

   

   Now pour kefir and vegetable oil into another bowl, mix them, then pour the resulting egg-sugar mixture prepared in the first step into this container. Lightly beat all ingredients with a mixer.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next, add flour and baking soda to this mass, but add portions and sift through a sieve, kneading the ingredients each time. Knead the dough. Be prepared that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Adjust the amount of flour according to the condition of the dough - it should become soft and not hard, then the gingerbread cookies will turn out really tasty.

4. STEP 4

   

   Now the resulting gingerbread dough needs to be rolled out. Sprinkle your work surface with flour (you will need more flour in this step. You need to add enough so that you can work with the dough). Roll the dough itself a little in flour so that it does not stick to the rolling pin and roll it out a little. Its thickness should be 1 cm, maximum 1.5 cm. Using a glass or a special mold, cut out circles from the dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   How to bake gingerbread cookies with kefir? Cover a baking tray with baking paper and place the gingerbread pieces on it. Place the baking sheet with gingerbread cookies in an oven preheated to 180°C. Bake them for 25 minutes, but keep in mind that everyone's oven works differently, so they also bake differently, so the baking time may differ from the indicated one.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare the glaze that will cover the gingerbread cookies. To do this, you only need 2 ingredients: protein and powder. Beat the ingredients with a whisk or mixer until the powder dissolves and turns white (no need to beat until it forms hard peaks). Please note that you can use only the remaining white (from 1 egg), but in this case the gingerbread cookies will be covered with a thinner layer of glaze. I used the whites of 2 eggs so they will have a full white cap.

7. STEP 7

   

   After 25 minutes, remove the baking sheet with gingerbread cookies from the oven and dip them into the prepared glaze or brush them in two layers with the prepared glaze using a silicone brush, then send the gingerbread cookies to the oven for another 10 minutes, thus bringing them to full readiness. It is best to cool freshly baked homemade gingerbreads by placing them on a wire rack.

I baked homemade soft gingerbread cookies with kefir and glaze. I kneaded the dough according to the recipe. I rolled it out into a layer 1 cm thick and cut out circles using a small glass. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until slightly golden brown. I ran out of powdered sugar; for the glaze, I simply beat the egg whites and sugar with a mixer until white. The gingerbread cookies turned out soft, with a wonderful honey aroma. Very tasty! Thanks to the author for the recipe!

I registered specifically to say THANK YOU to the author of the recipe! The gingerbread cookies turned out great the first time, I sprinkled them with coconut crumbs. Unfortunately, I can’t post a photo, I haven’t reached a certain user level, like I’m still a beginner... but it’s a pity, it turned out so beautiful!
