1.
Mix flour with baking powder and fold in hazelnuts. Remove pits from dried plums and puree them with a stick blender. Combine plum jam, cocoa powder, honey, egg, yolk, and gingerbread spice with the flour mixture using the dough hooks of an electric hand mixer until a firm dough forms. Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature overnight.

On the next day roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness and cut out moons, stars, etc. with cookie cutters onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk one egg with 2 tbsp water and brush the gingerbread cookies with it, then decorate with almonds if desired (they can bake). Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C) for about 20 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.

For decoration whisk powdered sugar with 3-4 tbsp water until smooth, portion as desired, and add a few drops of food coloring to achieve the chosen hue. Transfer the glaze into small bags, trim the tips slightly, and use them to decorate or label the gingerbread cookies. Allow to dry.
