This gingerbread cookies I baked two times and the second time I made them thinner – these were much more better It’s sad that ducks, elephants, mice and butterflies didn’t survived till photo session.. By the way, I don’t know why but butterflies were most popular Maybe because they were very colourful… This is the last entry about Christmas baking. So what now? Will be waiting for the spring?

100 g margarine or butter

200 g honey

200 g sugar

2 eggs

500 g flour

1 packet of baking powder

1 teaspoon spice mix for gingerbreads

Spice mix for gingerbreads:

6 teaspoons cinnamon

2 teaspoons allspice

2 teaspoons cloves

1 teaspoon muscat

Melt butter, sugar and honey. Cool a little bit then beat in eggs and whisk. In another bowl sift flour and baking powder. Step by step mix flour with wet ingredients. Wrap the dough in foil and chill not less than 3 hours. Then roll down the dough as thick as you can on floured surface. Cut shapes what you like and bake in preheated oven at 180°C.
