Healthy food recipes exclude regular wheat flour, but alternatives do not provide the same tenderness and fluffiness to baked goods. The only flour that gives a similar result is rice flour, and we will use it to make cookies. Of course, you can use any other one, but then the baked goods will most likely be denser and crispier.
We prepare cookies without sugar, with honey. First brew it with butter and spices, so the dough will acquire its original dark color. Don't be alarmed, the preparation process is quick and simple. The only delay will be that the dough must rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Remove the PP ginger cookies from the oven and cool. In principle, it is ready, you can eat it. But for a more festive look, we’ll decorate it with curd cream.
You can use a PP custard made from milk and cornstarch, but it will crack when it cools. Cottage cheese will add additional juiciness. Blend the grainy cottage cheese with a blender. If you are using soft cottage cheese, immediately transfer it to a pastry bag (or bag).
Squeeze out cream instead of glaze, decorating your baked goods to your own taste. To get a colored cream, add natural dye to the cottage cheese.
If you are not too concerned about the presence of sugar in products, make an original sugar glaze from powdered sugar and milk. Add milk to the powder until you get a thick consistency - then decorate the cookies.
