Ingredients
- 120 g softened unsalted butter
- 90 g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 260 g flour
- 5 g Sainte Lucie baking powder
- 2 heaping teaspoons of Sainte Lucie gingerbread spice mix
- 1 pinch of fine salt

Gourmet tip
Add powdered sugar if the frosting is too runny; add a few drops of egg white or lemon juice if it is too thick.
Preparation
- Cream the softened butter with the sifted sugar.
- Add the egg when the texture is smooth and mix.
- Then add the mixed powders (flour + baking powder + spices + salt).
- Mix to obtain a smooth ball (without overworking the dough).
- Lightly flatten the ball, then place in the refrigerator for 1 hour covered with plastic wrap.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Flour the work surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 4 mm.
- Cut out the cookies using a gingerbread man cookie cutter.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack
- For the icing: mix the egg white, icing sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl until you get a smooth, thick texture.
- Decorate the cookies using a piping bag fitted with a very small plain tip (or cut the tip of the bag slightly to form a mini hole).
- Let the frosting dry on a wire rack.
