Christmas holidays are over ... But this is no reason to stop delighting your loved ones with gifts prepared by yourself. From ginger dough, you can come up with a huge number of amazing gifts that will certainly be remembered and will delight your family for a long time! Today I will tell you how you can make such amazing bells quickly enough.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In order to make such a gingerbread bell, you will need cuttings for making gingerbread. I used a Tescoma die cutter kit to make a Christmas bell. If there is no such set, then it is necessary to pick up round cuttings with a diameter: 1 cm, 2.5 cm, 3.8 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 6.7 cm, 8.5 cm, and also cutting a "leaf" about 6 by 8 cm in size. Satin ribbon 1 cm wide and about 1 m long. Confectionery glaze, sugar pencils, decorative sprinkles, etc. for decorating bells.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. In a mixer bowl, mix soft butter and sugar (both white and brown can be used), beat with a mixer until smooth. Add an egg, pour in honey and add all the spices and soda. Stir with a mixer until smooth. Pour in the sifted flour in portions. First, mix with a mixer, and then with a spatula. At the end, knead with your hands, the dough is very pleasant, it does not stick to your hands.
  3. Form a ball from the dough, wrap in plastic and leave in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  4. Cut off half of the dough (return the other half to the refrigerator), roll out to a thickness of about 4 mm.
  5. Prepare the future elements of the bell with cuttings: 1 circle with a diameter of 8.5 cm, 1 circle 6.7 cm, 1 circle 6 cm, 3 circles 5 cm, 1 circle 3.8 cm and 1 circle 2.5 cm. Exactly in the middle of each circle, cut through a hole with a diameter of 1 cm. Make a through hole. Also prepare two sheets, at the end of which you can also make a hole by cutting 1 cm in diameter.
  6. Transfer the prepared bell elements to a baking sheet covered with baking paper and bake at 180 degrees for 12-13 minutes. The gingerbread should be golden.
  7. Cool the finished gingerbread cookies completely before decorating.
  8. Decorate the ginger bell elements as desired: icing, chocolate, sugar crayons and all kinds of confectionery sprinkles. Let dry.
  9. We collect the bell. A circle with a diameter of 2.5 cm is the “tongue” of the bell. We put a tape into it. Then we thread both ends of the ribbon into the “rings” of the bell, starting with the ring of the largest diameter. At the end, add the "leaves" and beautifully tie the ribbon with a bow. The bell is ready!
