Baking Instructions
#1 Butter should be soft. Add it into a bowl with the sugar. Whisk until creamy. Add the egg and whisk again.
#2 Add the spices, pinch of salt and almond flour. Keep whisking.
#3 Add the floor progressively, first with a spatula, then with your hands. Knead and male a dough ball.
#4 Best is to let the dough rest for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
#5 Pre-heat your oven for 180°C.
#6 Spread the dough with a rolling pin until 0.8-1cm thick (trick: do it between two baking paper sheets, it won’t stick!)
#7 Use cookie cutters to shape your biscuits.
#8 Bake for 10-12 mins at 175-180°C until top gets golden (careful, it goes fast!)
#9 Let them cool down a bit.
How to make the icing
Mix egg white and icing sugar and place in a pastry socket or equivalent. It can also be coloured during the mixing phase.
Spice it up even more!
Let the kids decorate the biscuits with the icing and «glue » dried fruits, nuts and sprinkles! Store in the fridge for max 3-4 days.
