INGREDIENTS

For the cookies:

- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 1 1/2 tbsp orange juice
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

For the royal icing:

- 3 oz egg whites (about 3 egg whites)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder (or vanilla extract)

INSTRUCTIONS

For the cookies:

- In an electric mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Add the sugar and cream until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Mix in the egg, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, and almond extract. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and scrape the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated.

- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight. The dough may also be frozen for up to one month.

- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Once well chilled, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick and cut with desired cookie cutters. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Place in the preheated oven and bake until slightly puffed and just beginning to turn golden, 10-14 minutes.

- Once baked, remove from the oven and cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks and cool completely. Frost with favorite icing or try royal icing (instructions below).

For the royal icing:

- Mix the egg whites, 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, and vanilla powder together until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until the frosting is thick and like a ribbon when pouring out.

- Separate into bowls and color with food coloring.

- Use pastry bags or a plastic cookie decorating bottle to decorate the cookies.

150g honey
100g granulated sugar
1tsp ground cinnamon
1tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves (optional)
2 tsp baking soda

1 egg
400-450g flour

COOKING METHOD:

1. Put honey, sugar, and spices in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from heat and add baking soda, stir (the mixture will foam and increase).
3. Add butter gradually and stir. Add egg and stir.
4. Add sifted flour and knead the dough (I took a hand mixer with hook attachments). Form a ball.
5. Roll out the dough 5mm thick between two sheets of parchment or silicone mats. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes-1 an hour.
