Ingredients

Soft butter 115 g

Light brown sugar 115 g

Egg 1

Corn syrup 1.5 tbsp

Black treacle 1.5 tbsp

Cake flour 300 g

Ginger powder 2 tsp

Dark chocolate or milk chocolate (for decoration) 200 g

Powdered sugar (sifted, for decoration) 150 g

Instructions

Make the dough

In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg, corn syrup, and black treacle. Add the flour and ginger, and mix until a stiff dough forms. Chill for 20 minutes.

Prepare for baking

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (Th. 6) and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Shape

On a work surface dusted with a little flour, roll out the dough to 1 cm thick and use cookie cutters to cut out hearts and stars. Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.

Bake

Bake for 10 minutes, until the cookies puff up. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Decorate

Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Coat the heart cookies with the melted chocolate. Place the powdered sugar in a bowl and stir in water, a little at a time, until it reaches a consistency thin enough to drizzle over the star cookies.
