Preparation and cooking time: 20 min
more 'cooking for 10 min each pan and the time for decoration (as well as' rest' s dough) Ingredients

(about 40 cookies about 10 x 8 cm )


00 420 g flour 100 g sugar 120 g soft butter

160 ml molasses

1 large egg 3 /
4 teaspoon baking soda 1 / 4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 / 4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 / 4 teaspoon ground cloves

for decoration
200 g icing sugar 1 egg white



food coloring Mix the flour with the spices, baking soda and salt .
the butter and sugar until mixture is puffy and fluffy. Add egg and molasses continuing to work. Add the flour mixture a bit 'at a time. This will give a very soft dough (like a shortbread).
Divide the dough into two parts, wrap each with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for at least 5-6 hours (even better prepared the day before). Preheat

the oven to 180 degrees.
Take a piece of dough from refrigerator at a time. With a rolling pin roll out a sheet of 4-5 mm thickness and cut with cookie cutters. Hopefully, with a stick, drill a small hole for passing the wire to hang the cookies on the Christmas tree.
The hole must be quite large because 'the cooking will tend' to close.
place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, a bit 'spaced.
Bake for about 10 minutes. The biscuits are cooked when they are no longer 'too soft and the edges tend to darken.

Remove from the oven immediately and let them cool on the plate for a couple of minutes. When they are hardened enough to handle them, make them cool on a wire rack.

Once cool decorate as desired with icing .
