1. Put unsalted butter, warm water, brown sugar, white sugar, and honey in a basin, heat over a small fire over water until the ingredients are melted and mixed evenly. Be careful not to boil.
2. After cooling down, add egg liquid and mix well.
3. Mix the cake flour, ginger powder, cinnamon powder and baking soda first, sieve and add 2, stir into small pieces, and then gradually knead the dough by hand.
4. Put the prepared cookie dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for one hour.
5. Take out the refrigerated dough and ask slightly. Preheat the oven to 170°C (my oven is a bit problematic, so it is 180°C for the upper heat and 150°C for the lower heat). Roll the dough into a 5mm thick crust, press out the desired shape with a mold, and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or baking cloth.
6. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, and the biscuits can be taken out after they are colored.
7. Place the taken out biscuits on the heat sink and let them cool completely (it is generally recommended overnight).
8. After mixing the meringue powder, icing sugar and warm water, use a whisk at low speed until the meringue can pull out the sharp corners.
9. Put the beaten meringue into the squeeze bag and cut a small mouth to draw patterns on the biscuits. You can also add cocoa powder, matcha powder, and freeze-dried strawberry powder to adjust the color you want.
10. Cookies with good icing must be completely dry before they can be bagged!
11. It can also be a gingerbread house.
Tips:The feeling of making icing biscuits myself is that the commercially available icing biscuits should be eaten less; one is high in sugar and the other is dyed with natural ingredients. Unless a very large amount is added, it is impossible to make such a positive color der~
