Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make sugar icing for gingerbread cookies at home? First you need to bake the gingerbread cookies themselves. I used the traditional classic cookie cutter. But this is not at all necessary; cookies can be baked in absolutely any shape. Now prepare all the ingredients to make the icing sugar. Wash the egg thoroughly with soap to get rid of possible germs on the shell. Then carefully separate the white from the yolk.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the protein into a container convenient for whipping and add powdered sugar to it. Be sure to sift the powder so that sugar crystals do not get into the glaze and subsequently interfere with your work by clogging the cut corner of the pastry bag.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix the powdered sugar with the egg white using a mixer or blender with a whisk attachment on low speed for 2 minutes. The glaze will gradually begin to turn white. Then add a little lemon juice, which will make the glaze shine and shimmer a little in the light. After adding the juice, beat the sugar-white mixture again for about 3 minutes. The mass should become thick, homogeneous, and white.

4. STEP 4

   

   The glaze is ready. Sugar icing dries quickly, so it must be covered with cling film or a lid. Next, prepare a pastry bag. To do this, cut off a very small corner of the bag. This is done so that air escapes and when applied, the glaze goes deep into the bag. and it was easy to tie. You should also cut off the wide part of the bag to make it small.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now carefully transfer the icing sugar into a pastry bag and seal it tightly with tape.

6. STEP 6

   

   You can start decorating the cookies.
