Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sift the flour from the large bag, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon into a bowl.

Step 2

Add the butter and mix by hand until the mixture resembles bread crumbs, then add the sugar and stir.

Step 3

Lightly beat the egg, add the sugar syrup, and whisk until the mixture thickens.

Step 4

Add the egg mixture to the bowl and knead until smooth; wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm on a lightly floured surface using flour from the small bag, cut out cookies in various shapes using cookie cutters or a knife, and place them on a baking sheet, leaving space between the cookies.

Step 6

Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 356°F for 10 minutes, transfer to a tray, and let cool for 10 minutes; make the glaze: squeeze the lemon juice, gradually add 1 teaspoon of juice to the powdered sugar, stirring until thickened.

Step 7

Brush the cookies with the glaze, let them dry, and decorate the cookies using coloring pencils; you can make a hole for a ribbon and hang the cookies on the tree.
