Painted gingerbread Easter ginger eggs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   Melt butter, honey and sugar over low heat. Add spices and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, thoroughly beat the eggs and add to the cooled spiced syrup.

2. STEP 2

   

   Gradually add flour with soda and cocoa, knead into a soft, elastic dough. Leave in the refrigerator for several hours (or better yet, overnight).

3. STEP 3

   

   Roll out the dough thinly and cut out the cookies into the desired shape. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Make the glaze. Mix egg white, powdered sugar and lemon juice. Add powder gradually until the glaze has the consistency of sour cream. If necessary, you can add food coloring to part of the glaze.

5. STEP 5

   

   Fill a pastry cup with icing (you can use plastic bags with a snap), cut off a corner and decorate the cooled gingerbread cookies.

6. STEP 6

   

   Gingerbread cookies can be very diverse: in the shape of an egg, Easter cake, hare, etc.

7. STEP 7

   

   The finished gingerbread can be wrapped in transparent paper (this should be done a couple of hours after the icing has completely dried), tied with a ribbon and presented as an Easter gift to friends, relatives, and colleagues.

Incredibly beautiful! Well, okay, those cookies with dots: maybe it’s not difficult, but those with a mesh amazed me... How accurately you applied these stripes! Bravo! Bomb-
