Ingredients

Step cooking

Make dough

1. We take out 150 g of butter from the refrigerator and leave it in a warm place so that it becomes soft. We spread the soft butter in a deep container, in which we will knead the dough.
   
2. We pour 150 g of granulated sugar there.
   
3. Grind both components well until a homogeneous white consistency is obtained.
   
4. We break one chicken egg into the oil mixture, and then again thoroughly mix the mass until smooth.
   
5. In the resulting slurry, add 60 g of cocoa powder, which is pre-sieved through a fine sieve.
   
6. Pour 40 ml of milk there, and then thoroughly mix the components.
   
7. Add about 200 g of wheat flour and 11 g of baking powder.
   
8. Knead a homogeneous liquid dough with a spoon.
   
9. Add the remaining 200 g of flour, after which we continue to knead manually. The dough should turn out soft, elastic, and in no case stick to your hands.
   

We make cookies

1. Sprinkle the surface of the table with flour, then put the dough on it.
   
2. We roll out the dough into a thin layer with a thickness of not more than 7 mm.
   
3. Take a heart shape and cut out cookies.
   
4. The excess dough is carefully removed, collected in a lump, and then reused - rolled out and cut out the hearts.
   

Bake product

1. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper.
   
2. On the prepared baking sheet we shift the cut hearts, leaving a small distance between the blanks.
   
3. We send the baking tray with cookies to the oven preheated to 180 ° C. Bake a treat for 10-12 minutes.
   
4. We take out the finished treat from the oven and leave to cool for half an hour.
   

Prepare the icing

1. We fill the medium-sized pan half with water, and then send it to the stove.
   
2. While the liquid is heated to 50-60 ° C, grind 200 g of white chocolate until fine crumbs, using a knife or coarse grater.
   
3. The crushed white chocolate is placed in a glass bowl, which is sent to a water bath.
   
4. Melt the sweet ingredient with constant and intensive stirring to a liquid state.
   
   Important! Make sure that not a drop of liquid gets into the chocolate, otherwise, it will curl.

Decorate cookies

1. Cut a piece of foil 40-50 cm long - on it we will dry the cookies.
   
2. Take a cooled cookie and gently dip it in melted white chocolate, first with one half and then with the other. Shake the excess chocolate.
   
3. We spread the treat on the foil. We do the same with all cookies.
   
4. After all the cookies are covered with white chocolate, we send black chocolate in an amount of 50 g to the water bath.
   
5. From parchment paper we make a culinary cornet for dark chocolate.
   
6. Fill the homemade cornet with melted chocolate.
   
7. We twist the upper part of the cornet so that the chocolate does not pour out, after which we cut off the small tip from the lower sharp part.
   
8. We draw a black chocolate grid on the surface of gingerbread hearts.
   
9. Leave the chocolate to solidify until completely hardened. Tentatively, this will take about two hours.
