Directions

• In a large bowl, pour eggs, honey and vanilla essence.
• Mix everything with a fork, add gradually the oil and set aside.
• In another bowl, pour flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon and cocoa and mix well.
• Incorporate half of the powder mixture into the bowl of liquid mixture by using a fork.
• Incorporate the rest of the powders and knead the mixture with your hands until smooth and homogeneous.
• Wrap the mixture in cling film and leave it to rest for 15 minutes.
• Roll out half the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 4 mm.
• Make the cookies in the shape you prefer, in my case I used the typical gingerbread man.
• Place the cookies on a tray lined with baking paper.
• Bake in a ventilated oven at 160⁰C for 8-10 minutes.
• Leave the cookies to cool down on a cooling rack.
• While the biscuits are cooling down, let’s prepare the icing for the decorations.
• Be creative in preparing the glaze, adding water or lemon juice to icing sugar and food colouring.
• Decorate the cookies with your favourite colours and design.
• Let the decorated cookies dry on a tray.
