Water - 3 fl oz
Chicken Egg - 1 piece
Powdered Sugar - 4.4 oz
Whole egg - 1 piece
Wheat Flour - 15.9 oz
Spices - 1 teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Boil water with sugar until a syrup forms.

Step 2

Mix honey, egg, yolk, spices (anise, clove, cinnamon), baking powder, 5 tablespoons of flour, and warm syrup, whisking together. Gradually add the remaining flour and warm syrup.

Step 3

Roll out the dough on a floured board; continue kneading the dough, adding flour until it reaches the consistency of potato dough. Leave the dough to chill for 12 hours.

Step 4

Roll out to a thickness of 4–5 mm and use metal cutters to cut out geometric shapes, which are baked on a greased baking sheet in a hot oven. Once the cookies are golden, place them on a board to cool completely and decorate with icing made from whipped egg white and powdered sugar using a piping bag. Alternatively, decorate with ready-made decorations.
