• 50g butter
• 2tsp baking soda (12g)
• 2tbsp (ca.9,2g) gingerbread spice

Next time: reduce baking soda and flour a bit

Instructions

Mix everything together, wrap it in foil and let it rest in the fridge for at least 12h. Then knead it a bit per hand, add flour if required. Roll it out roughly 3/4cm thick and cut it (i just used a smalle glass to do so). Place them on baking paper, brush them with egg and add almonds on top. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake until golden brown (roughly 10 minutes)

Next Time…

• reduce baking soda This worked great
• reduce flour this did not work, second version did not keep their shape as well.
