. Decorating Christmas baked goods in this way can be an opportunity to spend some time with family or friends. Just bake gingerbread in advance and invite others to join in the fun. Cookies can be decorated with chocolate, nuts or icing, which is very easy to prepare. All you need is sugar and water or citrus juice.
How to make gingerbread icing? Here’s a simple recipe. You only need two ingredients to decorate cookies
If we want the icing to be only sweet, we will only use sugar and water to prepare it. However, if we prefer it to have a lemony, slightly sour taste or orange aroma, replace the water with citrus juice.
Gingerbread icing ingredients: 40 dag of powdered sugar, 8 tablespoons of lemon or orange juice, or water.Preparation: Start by sifting the powdered sugar through a strainer into a bowl. This will make the icing smooth and lump-free. Add squeezed lemon/orange juice or water. Using a spoon or whisk, mix the powdered sugar and liquid thoroughly. If the icing is too thick, add a little more liquid, but remember to do it gradually – the icing should be thick but liquid. If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar. Remember that the frosting sets quickly, so if you’re not using it right away, cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. When the icing is ready, you can transfer it to a pastry bag – it will be easier to paint patterns on the gingerbread cookies. You can experiment with different flavors by adding vanilla extract or spices to the icing. The latter will work, especially when you use orange juice to prepare the icing.
