Measure out all ingredients. Remove the chicken egg and butter from the refrigerator in advance so that they come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Place softened butter and sugar in a deep bowl. Add chicken egg.
Beat everything until smooth. Add honey and stir.
Sift the flour into a separate bowl. Add baking powder, ginger, cinnamon and cocoa powder. Stir.
Add the creamy honey mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly.
Knead the dough until it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. It should turn out smooth and plastic. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Place the finished dough on the table and roll out to a thickness of 5 mm. The easiest way to do this is between two sheets of parchment.
Using a metal ring, mold or cup, cut out gingerbread pieces from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment, leaving space between them.
Place the gingerbread cookies in the oven for 10-15 minutes. They should brown and become firm. Cool the finished products.
Gingerbread cookies are ready. Bon appetit!
Decorate the gingerbread cookies with icing of different colors, as well as confectionery sprinkles.
