Nešto kao paprenjaci / Something Like Gingerbread Cookies

I was really in the mood for some tea and cookies today, so I thought of gingerbread cookies because of their specific taste, a great mixture of cinnamon, honey and nutmeg. They can't be considered as plain cookies because of the amazing smell and spicy flavor they have, and if you like to play with playdough, then you'll love making them. In any way, pleasure is guaranteed. 

Danas sam bila raspoložena za čaj i kolačiće, stoga sam se sjetila paprenjaka zbog njihovog specifičnog okusa, ukusnog spoja cimeta, meda i muškatnog oraščića. Ne mogu se svrstati pod obične kolačiće zbog prekrasnog mirisa i pomalo pikantnog okusa, a ako se volite igrati s plastelinom, uživat ćete u izradi paprenjaka. U svakom slučaju, bit ćete zadovoljni.

Ingredients:

Dough

100 grams of honey

100 grams of sugar

100 grams of butter

2 eggs

450 grams of flour

1 tea spoon of baking powder

1 tea spoon of cinnamon

1/2 tea spoon of nutmeg 

1/2 tea spoon of clove

Lemon Icing

2 table spoons of fresh lemon juice

100 grams of icing sugar

Sastojci:

Tijesto

100 grama meda

100 grama šećera

100 grama margarina

2 jaja

450 grama brašna

1 žličica praška za pecivo

1 žličica cimeta

1/2 žličice muškatnog oraščića

1/2 žličice klinčića

Glazura od limuna

2 žlice svježeg limunovog soka

100 grama šećera u prahu

On a very low flame melt together honey, sugar and butter. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and eggs. Mix until you get an even dough. Leave it to cool before stretching the dough.

Stretch the dough and use your favorite cookie cutter to cut it. Repeat the process until you use all the dough.

Bake on 180°C for 10-15 minutes, depending how thin you stretch the dough.

Na laganoj vatri otopite med, šećer i margarin. Dodajte brašno, prašak za pecivo, cimet, muškatni oraščić, klinčić i jaja. Mjesite dok ne dobijete glatko tijesto. Ostavite da se ohladi prije nego ćete ga razvaljati.

Razvaljajte tijesto i izvadite svoju najdražu modlu za kolače kako biste izrezivali željene oblike od tijesta. Ponavljajte proces dok ne iskoristite svo tijesto. Pecite 10-15 minuta na 180°C, ovisno o debljini kolačića.

For the lemon icing you should simply mix at high speed fresh lemon juice and icing sugar. Also you can play with the icing and color it with food colors. This time I went with simple and delicate white look.

Priprema glazure od limuna je jednostavna, izmiksajte sok od limuna i šećer u prahu. Možete se igrati s glazurom, te ju obojati bojom za hranu po želji. Ovoga puta sam se odlučila za jednostavan bijeli izgled.
