Instructions

  1. Cut the butter into cubes and leave it at room temperature to soften.
  2. Place the butter, brown sugar, and egg in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and spices. Mix everything well with the mixer, then knead with your hands until you have a smooth dough.
  4. Form the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it's 5 mm (1/4 inch) thick.
  6. Cut out cookies using cookie cutters and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 8-10 minutes (7-9 minutes in a ventilated oven), checking them occasionally.
  8. To make the icing, beat all the ingredients until the mixture is thick but still spreadable.
  9. Once the cookies are cool, you can decorate them with the icing using a piping bag or a brush, or any other way you prefer.
  10. Allow the icing to dry for at least 5 hours.
