RECIPE: GINGERBREAD MEN AND CHOCOLATE DOLLS

⏳ Preparation time: 15 minutes

⏳ Cooking time: 30 minutes

⏳ Time spent: 45 minutes

🍽️ Number of servings: 4 people

❄️☀️Season / Time: Winter ❄️

📈 Difficulty level: Very easy 😁

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour (330 gr)

• Dessert type chocolate (115 gr)

• Unsweetened cocoa (60 gr)

• Royal type yeast (1 dessert spoon)

• Salt (a pinch)

• Butter (170 gr)

• Brown sugar (100 gr)

• Sugar, normal granulated (115 gr)

• Ginger powder (2 tablespoons ? about 12 gr)

• Cinnamon powder (2 tablespoons ? about 12 gr)

• Nutmeg powder (half a teaspoon)

• Clove powder (1 teaspoon)

• Sugarcane Honey (85 gr)

• Egg (1 type L)

Preparation / Steps:

1. In a large bowl, mix the solid ingredients, cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt.

   
   
   
   
   
   

2. In another bowl, beat the butter, brown and white sugar and all the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves), mixing well until the dough is light and fluffy.

   
   
   
   
   
   

3. Place the dessert chocolate in pieces in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Remove and mix well. If necessary, place it back in the microwave, but this time in 15-second increments, until it is completely melted.

   
   
   
   
   
   

4. Add the butter, honey, egg and melted chocolate to the mixture. Beat for approximately 2 minutes.

   
   
   
   
   
   

5. Little by little we add the first mixture (the flour mixture) to this second mixture that we were working with, while we beat until everything is integrated.

   
   
   
   
   
   

6. Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line the baking tray with baking paper or baking sheet. At the same time, separate the mixture into 4 and form dough balls.

   
   
   
   
   
   

7. Sprinkle the work area with flour and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 6 mm. Cut it out using the desired design, in this case making the shape of a gingerbread man. Carefully transfer the gingerbread men to the tray and repeat with the rest of the dough.

   
   
   
   
   
   

8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool on a rack. Once completely cooled, you can add whatever garnish you like. A typical idea might be a bit of icing to mark the edges of the little man and/or the typical buttons, but you can also add toppings or whatever you like.
