Gingerbread cookies for Christmas!
1. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa in a bowl. Set aside the flour mixture for later use.
2. In another pot, gently heat the butter with honey and brown sugar over low heat. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture comes to a boil.
3. Take the pot off the stove and allow it to cool to room temperature.
4. Blend gingerbread spices and finely grated orange peel into the cooled honey mixture, then incorporate a room temperature egg. Mix thoroughly until smooth and uniform.
5. Incorporate sour cream into the mixture, gradually adding the prepared flour mixture.
6. Knead the gingerbread mixture thoroughly; the dough might have a slightly sticky consistency.
7. Place the prepared gingerbread dough in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for 10-14 days to allow it to mature.
Baking gingerbread cookies:
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
2. Take the matured gingerbread cookie dough out of the refrigerator. Divide it into two portions. Place one portion back in the refrigerator and roll out the other part on a floured surface to a thickness of 0.5 cm.
3. Cut out the desired shapes from the dough and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put the gingerbread cookies in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
4. Repeat this procedure with the remaining gingerbread cookie dough.
5. Once the gingerbread cookies are baked, allow them to cool in the pan.
6. Add the final touch to the Christmas gingerbread cookies by decorating them with melted chocolate or your preferred icing.
