Step-by-step preparation of ginger-honey cookies with nuts and New Year's predictions, recipe with photo:
1. Cold-heat margarine (not frozen) cut into medium-sized chunks and dip in a food processor.
2. Next add a raw egg.
3. Pour flour, sifted through a fine sieve, so that it is enriched with oxygen, and the food is more fluffy.
4. Lightly fry the walnuts in a clean and dry frying pan, grind into smaller pieces and send to the bowl of the food processor.
5. Next, add ginger powder to all products. Fresh ginger root can be used. To do this, clean it and grate it on a fine grater. For this recipe, it is enough to use 1.5-2 cm of fresh root.
6. Pour honey into the bowl of the food processor, which can be of any kind, both fresh and already sugared.
7. Knead an elastic, tight dough so that it does not stick to the sides of the cookware.
8. Take it out of the bowl, form it into a round shape, place it in a plastic bag and send it to the refrigerator for half an hour or freezer for 15 minutes.
9. Then remove it from the bag and use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin layer about 5 mm thick. I recommend using a silicone mat or parchment paper for this.
10. Cut out the dough to the desired shape with molds. I have stars today.
11. Remove excess dough and make two holes in the stars with a cocktail tube.
12. Send the ginger-honey cookies with nuts to the oven heated to 180 degrees for 15 minutes.
13. In the holes made in the finished chilled product, pass a string with which to fix a piece of paper with wishes. You can come up with a variety of wishes: "luck awaits you in the new year", "in the new year, meet your love", "next year will bring new money work", etc. You can hang ginger and honey cookies with nuts and New Year's predictions on the Christmas tree or put them in beautiful New Year's boxes for gifts.
