Instructions

1. 1.

   Mix flour, baking powder and hazelnuts. Remove pits from the dried plums, add butter and blend with a stick blender until smooth. Knead the dry mixture, plum puree, cocoa powder, honey, one egg, yolk and gingerbread spice into a supple dough. Cover and leave at room temperature overnight.

   On the next day roll the dough to about 1 cm thickness on a floured surface. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place them on a parchment‑lined baking sheet. Whisk the remaining egg with 2 tbsp water and brush the cookies. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (160 °C fan, gas stove level 2–3) for about 20 minutes. Remove the cookies and let them cool completely.

   For decoration whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice and 3–4 tbsp water until smooth, transfer to a small piping bag and decorate the honey cookies. Let them dry.
