Step 1: Make the cookie dough
Make 500 g FunCakes Mix for Gingerbread according to the instructions on the package, wrap in cling film and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Step 2: Make the royal icing
Make 450 g FunCakes Mix for Royal Icing according to the instructions on the package. Dilute the royal icing with a tablespoon of water and let it stand under a wet tea towel to prevent it from drying out.
Step 3: Bake the gingerbread cookies
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C). Knead the dough from the refrigerator until smooth and roll it out to a thickness of about 2 mm on a work surface sprinkled with magic roll-out powder. Cut out various sizes of shapes. Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake them in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes and let them cool on the counter.
Step 4: Colour the royal icing
Divide the royal icing into 3 portions and color two of them red and green with the food colour gels. Leave 1 part white. Place the three colors of royal icing in a decorating bag with adapter and tip #3. Decorate various cookies as you wish with royal icing and sprinkles.
Step 5: Decorate the gingerbread cookies
Spread several cookies with a little piping gel and to cover the cookies with fondant, use the same cutter you used for the cookie. Decorate the cookies as you see fit with any royal icing, sugar decorations and sprinkles.
Step 6: Add a shimmer
With the FunCakes Edible Glazing Powder Ginger Gold you can powder a number of cookies gold with a brush and, if necessary, continue working on them with royal icing.
Step 7: Enjoy these delicious Gingerbread Cookies!
