Often for the New Year, many housewives bake and paint gingerbread in the form of men, but I think not many in the form of snowmen
I really liked the idea and decided to bring it to life. The gingerbread cookies turned out very funny and cute, the kids were delighted with them. Try baking them too, it’s quite simple, and the joy of your family will know no bounds, I assure you.

Рецепт
1. Prepare all the necessary products for New Year's gingerbread “Snowmen”. Butter, honey and eggs should be at room temperature.
2. Pour honey into a deep bowl and place it in the microwave for a few seconds. When it warms up, add soda without a slide. Whisk vigorously until the mixture turns white.
3. Add butter, continue whisking until butter melts.
4. Beat in a large egg, beat everything until smooth.
5. Add spices and cocoa, add a pinch of salt and flour.
6. Knead the dough, it should turn out soft and elastic, not sticking to your hands. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
7. Lightly sprinkle the parchment with flour, roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.3-0.4 centimeters, and cut out the cookie cutter in the shape of people.
8. Transfer the workpieces to a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 8-10 minutes in upper and lower heating mode. Cool the finished gingerbreads on a wire rack.
9. In the meantime, get busy icing and decorating the gingerbread cookies. My whites come from small eggs. If you use selected eggs, then one white will be enough for this amount of powder.
10. Pour powdered sugar into a deep bowl, add egg whites, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
11. Beat everything with a mixer at medium speed until a smooth, homogeneous glossy mass.
12. Transfer the glaze into a pastry bag, cover the gingerbread cookies with it, and glue the candy in the shape of a carrot. If you don’t have candy on hand, you can paint some of the icing orange and use it to draw carrot noses.
13. When the glaze has completely hardened, use dark chocolate to draw eyes, mouth and buttons, also let the chocolate harden well.
14. New Year's gingerbread “Snowmen” are ready!
15. Enjoy your New Year holidays!
