Ingredients for 10-11 cookies

For the cookies

• 150ml dark syrup
• 250g brown sugar
• 200g Lurpak® butter
• 150ml Arla® whipped cream or milk
• 1 tbsp ground ginger
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp crushed cloves
• ½ kg ground cardamom
• ½ tsp ground white pepper
• 1 tbsp baking soda
• 650g wheat flour

For the decorating glaze

• 200g icing sugar
• 3 tbsp pasteurized egg whites

How to do it

Baking time: 5-7 minutes at 200°C

For the dough

1. Put the syrup, sugar, and butter in a saucepan. Heat the mixture until it reaches boiling point.
2. Remove the pot from the heat and add the cream and spices and mix the mixture well in the pot.
3. Add the flour and baking soda. Mix the dough well and put it in a bag, press it lightly to make it thinner. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 2½ hours.

Knead and cut

1. Leave the dough at room temperature for ½ hour before use.
2. Pour some flour on the table and roll out the dough thinly. Cut the cookies with a cookie cutter into various Christmas shapes and place them on trays lined with baking paper.
3. Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the tray for a few minutes and transfer them to a wire rack - this will make them crispier.

How to decorate

1. Beat the icing sugar and the egg white until you get a fluffy grease. Alternatively, you can put the frosting in a piping bag to make it easier to apply.
2. Decorate the cookies with glaze and candies.
