Cookies from a box under the tree, which is forever associated in my mind with the New Year

Cookies are stored for a long time, but they are made very simply, from available products. Traditionally it is made with molasses, it gives a rich dark color, characteristic taste and aroma. "However, honey and brown cane sugar can make up for this deficiency!" - advises the author of this recipe, Tatiana Shpilko.

4. Roll out the dough into a thin layer up to half a centimeter. Use the molds to cut the cookies out of the dough. Carefully transfer the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   
   
   
   
5. Bake the cookies for 5-7 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 ° C. The cookies are very thin and can burn in no time! Wait for the dough to change its color slightly, and quickly remove the gingerbread from the oven.
