For the cookie
250 Honey
125 Wheat flour
125 Buckwheat flour
50 Candied orange peel
1 Egg yolk
15 Water
Spice (green anise, star anise, crushed vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom...)
For the icing
90 Icing sugar
1 Egg white
Lemon juice
Directions
1
Heat the honey with the water. Mix the flours in a large bowl. Add the cooled honey, the peels, and the spices. Mix well to obtain a thick and smooth dough. Lastly, add the baking soda and mix. Leave the bowl, covered with a cloth, at room temperature for 24 hours.
2
On parchment paper (and possibly floured), roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 cm. Cut shapes using a cookie cutter or a cardboard template. Carefully place the figures on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg yolk using a brush. Bake for 15 minutes in the oven at 190°C (thermostat 6). Allow to cool before proceeding to the icing.
3
To finish, vigorously mix the egg white with the sugar, then beat with a mixer until a firm consistency is achieved. Add the lemon drops. Decorate the figures using a piping bag. Allow to dry before storing them in a box.

Good Good recipe. However, if I may say so, I found them a bit hard... My suggestion: I would add a little more spice next time :) -

Tip top! Super recipe For the frosting, I just used water and powdered sugar because I didn't understand the purpose of egg white?
