Mix flour with baking powder and fold in hazelnuts. Remove pits from the dried plums and puree them with a stick blender.

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. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat one egg with 2 tbsp water and brush the gingerbread pieces; optionally top with almonds (they can bake). Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C) for about 20 minutes, then remove and let cool well.

For decoration whisk powdered sugar with 3-4 tbsp water until smooth. Add food coloring as desired and whisk again. Transfer the glaze to small bags, cut off the tip slightly, and use it to decorate or label the gingerbread. Let dry.
