Gingerbread cookies recipe

[Hentai-Semitism]

I do this every year for Christmas. Works every time. This recipe is for a really big batch, so keep that in mind. I'm not converting metric to imperial and Celsius to Fahrenheit!

1kg wheat flour
400g liquid honey (preferably buckwheat)
400g sugar
100g butter
2 eggs
15g baking powder
20g gingerbread spice

Mix flour and baking powder in a big bowl.
Put sugar, butter and spice in a small pot. Heat up slowly and stir until you see bubbles.
Turn the heat off and wait for the liquid to cool down. Pour into the bowl with flour and powder.
Add eggs and mix. Add more flour if the dough isn't dense.
Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in aluminum foil and store in a fridge for a 2-3 days.
Take it out, cut it into smaller chunks to make it more manageable. Roll it out on surface covered in flour so it doesn't stick.
Use your favorite cookie cutters. Put shapes on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Bake in 200°C for 12 minutes. Turn convection on if you can.
Wait for the cookies to cool down. Store them in a closed container to prevent them from going soft.

Enjoy (prison)!

I am eastern European. Maybe it's the lighting. I can assure you they're scrumptious - very hard and spicy. If you bake them longer, they get much darker and more sour. I've been using that recipe for as long as I can remember.

The walnut cream in that makes me want to make hazelnut cream, for a completely different recipe.

yeah but they arent supposed to be hard. but you cant get them the right consistency because honey will not allow that,
But the eastern european culinaric cargo culture saw some sweet liquid replaced it with honey because honey is also a sweet liquid. the right liquid is sugar beet syrup

liquid honey

At what point do you add the honey? In the pot? It doesn't say in the recipe.

Correct. I completely missed that and now I can't edit the OP!

 

[There She Glows]

Does anybody have a good recipe for for gingerbread houses? Delicious and structurally sound?

Correct. I completely missed that and now I can't edit the OP!

Don't know why you can't edit the OP but which step do you add it? The world wants to know.

What would be a good substitute for damson jam? Such a thing does not exist in burgerland.

Do I need to store in the fridge/chill it or is that only for storage?
Asking if I can bake fresh or not as some cookies you do need to chill the dough.

You're supposed to cool it down for a few days, it's not just for storage. You can try skipping that part, but I've always been doing that, so I can't tell you if it'll turn out fine.
