How to make

Sift the flour. Beat the eggs with the butter, add the honey, a pinch of salt, grated peel of 1 orange, the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour. Knead a homogeneous and elastic dough and leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Roast the nuts in a dry skillet. Add the butter, cream, honey and second grated orange rind. Boil the mixture and stir for 1-2 minutes, until thickened slightly.

Allow the mixture to cool and then blend. Roll out a thin dough, cut out cookies in the desired shapes and arrange them in a tray covered with baking paper.

Put the frosting in a pastry bag or icing piping syringe and use the thinnest tip you have to decorate the cookies with various figures, faces and others.

Put to bake in a preheated 340°F (170 °C) oven until pink.
