.

Ingredients

• 3 tsp orange peel
• 1 kg flour
• 300 g butter
• 3 eggs
• 3.5 tsp dark sugar
• 0.2 l syrup or molasses
• 3 tsp ginger
• 3 tsp carnations
• 3 tsp soda, slaked with vinegar
• 3 tsp cinnamon

Directions

1. Mix the syrup and spices and bring to a boil, then add butter and beat. Beat the yolks with sugar and whites separately, combine. Add syrup gradually, add sifted flour and soda. Roll out not very thin cookies, cut with tins and bake in an oven preheated to 200 ° C for 5 minutes. The main thing here is decorating with New Year's glaze to give the cookies a New Year's look, and of course you should stock up on molds in the form of Christmas trees, stars and snowmen.
