Preparation
Preliminary
Line the baking tray with baking paper. Set the oven to the specified temperature and turn it on beforehand to warm up.
Bottom-top cooking: 170 °C
Turbo cooking: 160 °C
Preparation of the Dough
Mix flour, baking powder, ginger and cinnamon. Put butter, eggs, brown sugar and honey in a separate mixing bowl and beat with a mixer for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla sugar and beat for a short while. Add the flour mixture you prepared and knead it with your hand. Roll out half of the dough on a floured counter or baking paper to a thickness of 1 cm. Cut it with a child-shaped cookie cutter into approximately 9×15 cm dimensions and arrange it on the baking tray. Fold one arm of some of the children's figures you have prepared inward and put folded aluminum foil or baking paper between them. Put it in the oven and bake it.
Cooking time: Approximately 8 – 10 minutes
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Decoration and Service
Open the sugar paste bag, take half of it and soften it by kneading it in your hand. Wrap the remaining sugar paste airtight and put it away. Make strips of 0.5 cm in diameter and 5 cm in length from the softened sugar dough. Apply red gel colorant on half of these strips using a brush. When the colorant dries, take one red and one white strip side by side, stretch them slightly, wrap them together and curl one edge into the shape of a cane. Prepare the remaining strips in the same way. Decorate the cooled cookies with decorating glazes by making eyebrows, eyes and buttons. Place the canes you prepared between the folded arms and serve.
