  1. Heat butter, honey, sugar, cocoa powder and gingerbread spice in a pot over medium heat. As soon as it turns into a cohesive mixture, remove the pot from the stove and allow to cool.

  2. Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, add salt, eggs and honey mixture and knead for about 15 minutes. 

  3. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and allow to cure for half a day at room temperature (if you’re in a hurry, skip this step). 

  4. Before baking, make sure you create holes with a small round cutter or the end of a straw for the ribbon to go through. 

  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 Celsius / 390 Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes.

  6. For the icing, combine all ingredients, then add more egg white or powdered sugar to achieve a thick, pipeable icing consistency. Fill into piping bag and get creative with different words and sayings.
