1 tbsp. l. ground cinnamon,
½ tsp. ground cloves,
½ tsp. soda,
1 tbsp. almonds

1 egg white,
1 tbsp. powdered sugar,
8-10 drops of lemon juice.

You can sprinkle them with confectionery sprinkles in the form of stars, snowflakes, balls, and then wait until the glaze hardens to admire the creation of your hands.
Unfortunately, such rich, fluffy gingerbread cookies are not suitable for drawing patterns on them. The so-called roes are ideal for this - gingerbread cookies made from denser dough.
Gingerbread icing can be tinted to create intricate designs. It is advisable to use natural products as dyes - cocoa, chocolate, beet juice, carrots or spinach, etc.

What products are New Year's gingerbread made from?
To prepare New Year's sweets, they use a special gingerbread dough, which consists of flour, honey and spices. This dough is quite simple to prepare. It's easy and pleasant to work with him. If you want to make New Year's gingerbread, but have absolutely no experience in this matter, do not be afraid.
Even an inexperienced housewife can cope with such a task. Gingerbread is not just baking, it is also a huge field for imagination and activity. After all, it’s not enough to just prepare the baked goods; you also need to decorate them beautifully with colored glaze. All family members, especially children, can participate in such interesting and entertaining work.
Gingerbread with cocoa
How to bake New Year's gingerbread? There are a variety of recipes for making such sweets. In our article we want to present only a few of them so that readers can choose the most suitable option for themselves.
To prepare New Year's gingerbread with cocoa, we will need:
- Kilogram of flour (wheat).
- Half a kilogram of powdered sugar.
- Six eggs.
- Two teaspoons of cocoa.
- Eight tablespoons of honey.
- 1.5 teaspoons of spices - anise, fennel, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, lemon zest.
- A teaspoon of soda.
In order to prepare New Year's gingerbread with cocoa, you need to thoroughly mix the powdered spices with honey, soda, powdered sugar and eggs until smooth.
Then add about half of the available flour (you only need to use sifted flour) and knead the dough, then put it on the board and knead, adding more flour. The result should be a non-liquid dough. It may stick slightly to your hands. To make it easier to work with, the dough should be placed in the refrigerator for an hour. After that, roll it out into a thin layer (no more than 0.5 cm) and cut out the gingerbread cookies with molds. Next, place them on a baking sheet and bake in a well-heated oven at 200 degrees.
Preparing the glaze
To prepare the glaze we will need:
- Two eggs.
- Three hundred grams of powdered sugar.
The whites must be separated from the yolks and beaten with a mixer until the foam rises. Now you need to gradually introduce powdered sugar. There is one small nuance that should be taken into account when preparing the glaze. You need to understand for what purposes you need it. If it is intended for filling a mold, it should have a slightly runny consistency. This glaze can be obtained by beating the whites at low speeds, gradually adding powder.
It's a completely different matter if you need a mixture with which you plan to paint homemade New Year's gingerbread cookies. Such glaze should have a thick enough consistency so that, on the one hand, you can draw with it, and on the other, it does not spread. To get such a mixture, you need to beat the whites at high speeds, sometimes you even need an additional portion of powder. The resulting thick glaze is very convenient for painting on gingerbread cookies.

Gingerbread recipe
The amount of ingredients we have given is enough to prepare gingerbread for a large family. If you don't need that much baking, it may be wiser to reduce the quantity.
To prepare the dough, mix soft butter with eggs, honey and sugar. The dry ingredients should also be combined and added to the flour. Next, knead the dough and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. After time, roll out the mass into thin layers 0.5-0.6 mm thick and cut out the gingerbread cookies using cutters. Place the finished figures on a baking sheet with parchment and bake in a well-heated oven for 25-30 minutes. So the New Year's gingerbread cookies are ready. Now they need to be decorated; the easiest option is to sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
Preparing icing
If you want to make the most beautiful New Year's gingerbread cookies with glaze, then you should prepare icing to decorate them. What is icing? In other words, it's icing sugar. For children, it is perhaps the most delicious ingredient in gingerbread.
New Year's gingerbread cookies with glaze are incredibly beautiful and tasty, they look festive and can become a real decoration for the Christmas tree. Icing is a universal means for painting any baked goods. And if you use food coloring, you can get icing in a variety of shades, then the gingerbread cookies will become even more beautiful and fabulous.
So, to prepare icing for gingerbread cookies we will need the following ingredients:
- White of one egg.
- A teaspoon of lemon juice.
- Powdered sugar - 160 g.
To prepare the glaze you don’t need a lot of ingredients; one protein is enough to decorate a whole kilogram of gingerbread.
The egg white must be separated from the yolk and beaten at low speed with a mixer (you can also use a whisk). At this stage, our goal is not to obtain a thick foam; we need to bring the protein to a homogeneous state. Next, add powdered sugar and mix everything well. Then you should add lemon juice, thanks to which the icing will shine and shimmer in the sun. Now our glaze is ready. If you need icing of different colors, then you need to divide it into different containers and add different colored dyes.
Drawing with glaze
Icing can be used to draw lines, dots, and even fill the entire surface. All of these options will require icing of varying consistency. So, for example, to fill gingerbread cookies, the icing should be more liquid. To do this, you need to add a little water to it and mix.
To make the design beautiful and clear, the outer contour of the gingerbread cookies is drawn with thick glaze, and the middle is filled with a thinner one. It is more convenient to draw lines and dots using pastry syringes or pastry bags. When working with glaze, you can show all your imagination. Even if you lack artistic talent, the gingerbread cookies will still turn out beautiful and appetizing. You can involve all family members in the drawing process; children, whose imagination is richer than adults, will especially like this work.
When the painted New Year's gingerbread cookies are ready, you need to allow the glaze to harden. As a rule, this does not require much time. The thickest icing takes about half an hour to dry, but liquid icing will take at least several hours.
Painting gingerbread cookies is a fun and exciting process. If you haven't used up all the icing, you can store it in a sealed container for a few days, as it hardens quickly when exposed to air.
Instead of an afterword
In our article we have given only a few recipes for wonderful New Year's gingerbread cookies. In fact, there are quite a lot of options for their preparation and decoration. It is simply impossible to mention them all in one article. We hope that our information will help housewives navigate this issue.
Hello, friends! In the smoothly approaching pre-holiday bustle, for some reason the following conclusion came to mind: how many people - so many gingerbread... It feels like making gingerbread for the New Year will soon be more obligatory than cutting it yourself, His Majesty, OLIVIER.
Well, you've probably noticed that over the last couple of years, our greatest minds have simply been swallowed up by the GINGERBERRY EPIDEMIC.
The overseas fashion for Christmas gingerbread cookies has transformed into a craze for gingerbread cookies. For reasons unknown to me, this is what they began to call any shortbread cookie that contains honey And spices led by ginger. Every second self-respecting individual considers it necessary to prepare, or at least buy a box of painted gingerbread cookies for the New Year. Not so much for food, but for a souvenir or hang on the tree.
Read my entire list of selected New Year's cookies.
Have you ever thought about the name “gingerbread”? What a funny word... I'll go look up who came up with this idea.
searching results
Aaaaah! It turned out to be extremely simple. Gingerbread comes from the word spicy, in ancient Russian “pypyrian” meant "pepper". And in other languages of the world, gingerbread means peppered cake. In Swedish, for example, it sounds like "peperkaka" In short, she's still a lot of fun!
The main ingredient in gingerbread is honey. Also, real gingerbread cookies are made with caramel syrup. It is he who gives gingerbread this unique taste, which we all know from childhood.
But since December is already a difficult month, we will not complicate our lives with caramel and will prepare gingerbread according to a simple recipe. Moreover, they contain both spices and honey, so we have every reason to call them gingerbread.
I started making gingerbread cookies for the New Year even before the gingerbread BOOM began. Although I’m not a big fan of spicy sweets myself, with New Year’s gingerbread cookies I just love the process of fiddling around: cutting out beautiful themed figures from the dough, baking them to fill the house with the spicy aroma of the holiday, and then decorating them with colorful sugar icing.
I'm not an expert in glaze painting, and I don't have the time to learn. So everything is primitive and simple for me.
If you like and want something more complicated, I will refer you to this video, in which you will see that painting gingerbread cookies is quite accessible, and at the same time look at a clear example of how thick the glaze should be.
If you don't have such a thin nozzle for a pastry bag, you can make an envelope from ordinary baking paper (the kind in which grandmothers used to sell us seeds in a bag, remember?). Or take disposable piping bag and cut off a corner of it.

And with them come the aromas of pine and spices, the taste of New Year's gingerbread on the tongue, so fragrant and elegant! What are you doing in December?

Remove the finished gingerbreads from the sheet after cooling.
While the gingerbread cookies are cooling, I will prepare the icing for decoration. I don't use any frosting mixer! I mash everything with a fork. For the glaze you will need the white of one egg, powdered sugar, a few drops of lemon juice and coloring.
The glaze should have a paintable consistency, not runny, but not runny either. Divide the glaze into 2 parts. Leave 13 white for painting. Paint the rest in the colors you want for decoration.
