New Year's Eve cookies

Method

1. 01

   "Highlight" in the preparation of the dough for this baking - burnt sugar, it gives a pleasant brown color and ginger taste of the liver.

2. 02

   It is not necessary to make a Christmas tree from such a test, you can just leave it in the form of cookies, but you need to cover it with glaze - so it will not stale longer and remain soft. When mixed, the dough will be quite soft, but more than indicated in the recipe, flour is not necessary - otherwise the dough will become very hard and will not roll.

   1. For cooking, you will need flour, sugar, chicken eggs, water, butter, spices: cloves and cinnamon, baking powder, and jewelry for taste and color - I have candy, but coconut shavings and various confectionery sprinkles look very good and elegant.

4. 04

   2. On a dry pan, pour 0.5 cups of sugar and burn to brown. Add 0.5 cups of water very carefully so as not to scald. I do it in a Cossack, so the risk of getting burned is minimized.

5. 05

   3. Add another 1 cup of sugar and boil until the grains are completely dissolved.

6. 06

   4. Add the butter. Remove from the fire and stir until the oil is completely melted. Cool the mixture for 30 minutes - 1 hour.

    8. The remaining flour is poured on the table, put dough on it and mix the flour into the dough. The dough will be pretty sticky and soft. Send it to the refrigerator for 8 hours or better overnight.

11. 11

    9. We roll out tests of a layer 5-7 mm thick, we cut out stars of various sizes.

12. 12

    10. Bake in a preheated to 160-180 degrees oven for 10-15 minutes, you do not need to roast much.

13. 13

    11. For glaze, boil sugar syrup from 0.5 cups of sugar and 0.25 cups of water on a slow heat. The syrup will be ready if its drop in cold water rolls into a ball. Separate the proteins from the yolks, whip the proteins into a steep foam. Beating the proteins, add a thin trickle of hot syrup. It will turn out a very lush, thick, shiny white mass.
