Gingerbread Cookies

• 300 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons gingerbread spices
• 1 teaspoon cacao powder
• 200 grams butter (room temperature)
• 100 grams sugar
• 100 grams honey
• 1 egg (free range)

1. Combine flour and baking soda, add gingerbread spices and cacao powder. Mix well.
2. Cut room-temperature butter into small chunks and place in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and honey and mix with a mixer until well-combined and fluffy. Mix in an egg and combine well.
3. Preheat oven to 170u0b0C / 340u0b0F.
4. After 30 minutes take dough out of the fridge and roll out to about 0.5 cm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired cookie shapes (I used a 10 cm gingerbread girl cookie cutter). Place cookies onto a baking tray covered with baking paper. Repeat until you've used up all your cookie dough.
5. Place baking tray in preheated oven and bake at 170u0b0C / 340u0b0F for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown. Remove from oven and place cookies on a cooling rack to cool.
6. When the cookies are cooled down, decorate with sugar icing.
