Swollen Face And Toothache

lurking. Part II (The Christmas Cookie) Christmas

this post, I had written a week ago, but between travel and my sister cut the internet connection, just be the story.
When I finished posting the last post, I asked that both history of "Grinch" was my personal history. I realized that Christmas my last letter was quite positive and that only this year I caught my discomfort by white-red monkeys Caco-Loca ®.
So I decided to vindicate!. We had arranged
crackers would do, right?. So, before my trip to the capital prepared exquisite Christmas cookies monkeys, although they did not seem to Sherk, were quite good.
Here is the recipe of
Christmas Gingerbread Cookies (http://www.innatia.com page):

Ingredients: • flour, 250 grams
• baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons
(although I prefer to use a liquid flavoring) • molasses or honey, 50 grams
• chopped ginger, 50 grams butter or margarine
• 100 grams
• brown sugar, 100 grams
• milk, 4 tablespoons

Preparation: • Mix the flour, baking soda and ground ginger.
• Heat the molasses to a simmer.
• Beat sugar and butter.
• Add this beat molasses, chopped ginger and slowly, flour, alternately with milk.
• With the help of a spoon, place small portions on a greased baking tray.
• Bake in preheated oven and cook about 20 minutes.

And how to decorate Christmas look adorably?:
Prepare Glaze! is very simple:


Ingredients: egg white, icing sugar (powdered sugar) required amount, a few drops of lemon, vegetable dyes .

Preparation: In a small bowl place the egg white and lemon, then slowly add the sifted powdered sugar (I recommend a good quality, because it would ruin the smooth preparation). Stir gently until mixture is white. Now you can add the color you want.

There are different points on the frosting, if you want to paint a cookie and cover more area, the "point" of the glaze may be more fluid (more liquid) and therefore requires less sugar. Paint the cookies is easy, simply use a clean brush.

Conversely, if you want smaller decorations like lines, buttons, flowers, the icing should be thicker, so you'll need to add more powdered sugar. To use the latter you can help in a fine-tipped pastry bag, you can make all the details of the cookie.
