Cooking instructions
Procedure
Combine all ingredients in a bowl except 1 egg, and mix until a smooth dough is obtained.
Procedure
Put the last egg in a cup or small bowl and beat it.
Procedure
Divide the dough into 5–6 portions. Take one portion and roll it out about 3 mm thick.
Procedure
Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Transfer cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Procedure
When the baking sheet is full, use the beaten egg to glaze the cookies.
Procedure
Bake at 180°C for a few minutes, until the cookies are light brown.
Procedure
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Procedure
Mix the egg white and sugar to make an icing. You may need to add more sugar if the mixture is not firm enough.
Procedure
Place the icing in a piping bag or other plastic bag. Cut a small hole (~1 mm) in the tip.
Procedure
Squeeze the bag to pipe out the icing and decorate the cookies.

Read it through first
Skim all 10 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.
Scale it
Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.
Storage
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating
Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
