Overnight Honey Gingerbread Cookies

Honey gingerbread cookies

  • 300–350 g all-purpose flour
  • 100 g honey
  • 125 g powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp baking soda
  • 25 g unsalted butter
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1/2 tsp spice mix

Mix the eggs with the powdered sugar, spice mix, and baking soda.

Meanwhile, melt the honey and butter together in a double boiler, taking care not to bring them to a boil. Add the egg mixture to the melted honey and butter and mix until smooth.

Gradually add the flour; the dough will be sticky. Use a bread machine or stand mixer to knead the dough if you have one.

Cover the finished dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight (it can be kept for 7–14 days).

After chilling, knead the dough again and roll it out to a thickness of 3–4 mm. Use a pasta machine to speed up rolling if you have one.

Cut out shapes from the rolled dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them, as the dough will expand while baking.

Alternatively, grease the baking sheet with oil and sprinkle it with flour before placing the cookies.

Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C (about 350°F) for 8–10 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies.

These cookies are aromatic and delicious.
