Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
First you need to bake the ginger cookies themselves. I used the traditional classic form of cookies, which are sold in all chain stores. But this is not necessary at all, cookies can be baked in absolutely any shape. Now we will prepare all the ingredients for making icing sugar. Take an egg and wash it thoroughly with soap. Then break the egg, carefully separate the white from the yolk.
Step 2:
Add powdered sugar to the protein container. The powder must be sifted so that sugar crystals do not get into the glaze and do not interfere with the work in the future, clogging the cut corner of the pastry bag.
Step 3:
Mix powdered sugar with protein using a mixer or blender with a whisk attachment at a slow speed for 2 minutes. The glaze will gradually turn white. Then add a little lemon juice, from which the glaze will shine and shimmer a little in the light. After adding the juice, beat the sugar-protein mass again for 3 minutes. The mass should become thick, homogeneous, white.
Step 4:
Actually, the glaze is ready. The icing dries quickly, so it must be covered with cling film or a lid. Next, we will prepare a pastry bag for starting with its glaze. To do this, we take a package and cut off a very small corner from it. This is done so that the air escapes and when the glaze is applied, the glaze passes deep into the envelope and it is easy to tie it. You should also cut off the wide part of the package so that it becomes a small size and from
Step 5:
Now we carefully transfer the icing sugar into a pastry bag, tighten it tightly with tape.
Step 6:
Let's start drawing on ginger cookies…
There are different types of glaze filling and contour. The ingredients are the same, but when preparing the filling glaze, a smaller amount of powdered sugar is used than when preparing the contour glaze. In principle, you can prepare a filling icing sugar, divide it into 2 parts, in one of which you can add powdered sugar to the consistency of contour glaze. Or use the second option and cook only contour glaze. After that, it is also divided into 2 parts, one of which is diluted with water before filling.
You can also make the glaze multicolored to create even more diverse beautiful cookies. To do this, we lay out the glaze in different containers and add food coloring to each container, mix the dye with the glaze and also transfer it to a pastry bag.
